Sean McQuaid, President-Elect of the St. Petersburg Bar Association, and Rachel Drude-Tomori, Executive Committee member of the St. Petersburg Bar Association, attended a mid-week happy hour at Trophy Fish following their monthly board meeting. This year’s Association theme is “We’ve got your back” which focuses on civility, respect, and connection among the Bar’s members.

This year, our law firm is proud to have three of its lawyers on the executive committee of the St Pete Bar.
