What have been some of the benefits of being a mentor or having a mentor?

It is so important for a young attorney to have a mentor because the only way to become a great lawyer is through experience, so it is invaluable to be able to work off of someone else’s foundation. I’ve been lucky enough to have different “mentors” for different aspects of my career –a female attorney who has provided guidance with regard to the obstacles women face in this industry, a strong litigator to coach me through both the routine and the unanticipated happenings that come with litigating, and a strong business-minded attorney who showed me the importance of working with clients to accomplish their goals in an efficient and effective manner. Having these mentors as a resource has proven to be instrumental in both my professional and personal growth.

Danielle Tricolla (New York Law School, 2011, cum laude) joined the firm in 2012 and concentrates her practice in the areas of litigation, corporate and commercial land use and real estate law.

She also represents clients in a variety of litigation matters including Article 78 Proceedings and District Court proceedings relating to zoning matters. Prior to joining the firm, Tricolla was a law clerk at a New York City law firm.

Her co-authored article, “Developments in New York Electronic Discovery,” was published in the Nassau Lawyer.

She is admitted to the New York State Bar and the New Jersey State Bar, as well as the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Tricolla is a member of the Nassau County Bar Association and its Commercial Litigation committee and the Women’s Bar Association of Nassau County.
