We are pleased to announce that David McGrath has been elected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML).
Comprised of the top matrimonial attorneys throughout the nation, AAML members are recognized as preeminent family law practitioners with the highest levels of knowledge, skill, and integrity. The Connecticut chapter has 32 members, and David is one of five from the Hartford area. To be elected, each Fellow must successfully complete a rigorous selection process that includes interviews, examinations, and professional and judicial evaluations.
“As a past president of the Connecticut chapter of AAML,” said Bruce Louden, Partner, “I am especially pleased by my partner’s well-deserved election. David is the first new Fellow from Greater Hartford in the past fifteen years.”
“David is the first new Fellow from Greater Hartford in the past fifteen years.”
