Members of the legal community paid tribute to Bill Kane, the director of the New Jersey Lawyers Assistance Program (NJLAP), who is retiring this summer.

“One never has to wonder whether Bill will be there to provide the support and personal attention necessary to assist any of us in getting a suffering attorney into the process of recovery.… Bill understands that when dealing with addiction, mental illness or other crises, genuine concern and caring for the individual by those rendering assistance is the key component.”
