Thomas Snyder of Einhorn Harris Ascher Barbarito & Frost in Denville, a family law practitioner with upward of 25 years of experience, makes it a priority to mentor younger attorneys at the firm. One mentee said, “One of the most valuable lessons he has provided me is to step out of my comfort zone and look at each case I work on from a unique angle. He has taught me to know the people and know the business but never be afraid to be think critically and trust my instincts.” Another mentee said, “Tom makes his associates a true partner on each and every case—involving us in every major decision with a collaborative spirit that benefits not only his associates, but our clients and the firm. He is truly one of the most creative thinkers I have had the privilege to know. He champions his associates within the legal community and within our firm as only a true leader would.”

Is the role of mentor one that you set out to take, or one you happened into?
