Compassion, gratitude, humility and civility: these were the qualities celebrated Oct. 10 as attorneys from across the state gathered to honor colleagues at the New Jersey Commission on Professionalism in the Law annual awards luncheon.

Thirty-four attorneys received Professional Lawyer of the Year Awards from bar associations across the state. In addition, the commission presented the Daniel J. O’Hern Award to Richard J. Badolato and the Charles J. Hollenbeck Award to David G. Sciarra.
