Application
Memo

AFC represent children of all ages, primarily in Family Court matters. They are compensated by New York State at the rate of $75/hour. Although the rate of compensation is modest, payment is guaranteed, and many AFC find the work to be extremely rewarding, both personally and professionally. Most AFC are solo or small firm practitioners. Like assigned counsel work, AFC assignments can be a great way to build your own practice.
Attorneys must apply to attend the training, and we are happy to work with those who need help obtaining the required Family Court experience.

Chapter in Your Career CLE

April 12, 2022

A career in law should be meaningful. It should give the attorney a sense of fulfillment. The last few years have presented challenges to many, including attorneys.

Making a career change is a serious decision. Having the necessary tools is vital.

This year’s WBASNY platform is “Empowered Women Empowering Women.” The speakers, all empowered women in their own right, will share the steps taken to reach their career objective to date. The information presented will provide knowledge to assist one to embark on a path that will enable one to explore future career options and opportunities.

Claire P. Gutekunst, Esq.
