2024 Ones to Watch Rising Stars: Anthony Forzaglia, Esq., Schroder & Strom, LLP

“Anthony manages a portfolio of 42 properties in the metro area owned by a regional health care provider to ensure annual tax exemptions are filed by the law firm for the client. He discovered several properties in the portfolio that the client had not previously thought qualified for exempt status. Anthony successfully argued that they qualified for exemption, generating an additional $407,000 in exemptions.” - Michael Schroder, Esq. and Karen Strom, Esq., Partners at Schroder & Strom, LLP.

Beyond your professional achievements, what are some of your passions or hobbies? My main passion is being a good dad to my two daughters. I also love music and love jamming with friends, usually on the bass guitar or drums. 

Who are the key people in your life that have contributed to your success? I have many people in my life that have contributed to my success. First, my wife Serena has always supported my law career, going back to when she helped me study for the Bar exam many years ago. She is always willing to take on extra duties at home for me to focus on my career. My parents were also very important in supporting my decision to go to law school. 

Outside of your career, where else do you seek continuous learning and personal growth? I do like music, both listening and playing. I also like reading or listening to webcasts or other media regarding legal stories to keep apprised of the state of the law, whether in my field or otherwise.
