TRENTON - Cooper Levenson partner Erika-Leigh Kelley was honored at the seventh annual pro bono recognition ceremony hosted by the New Jersey Judiciary Oct. 31. The event honored 12 attorneys from throughout the state for their exceptional dedication in providing free legal services to those in need.
“Erika’s years of service as a guardian for indigent individuals is the embodiment of the Latin translation of pro bono – 'for the public good,'” Cooper Levenson COO Kenneth J. Calemmo Jr. said. “We are pleased and proud to join in honoring Erika as she is recognized by Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court Stuart Rabner. Erika’s work is an inspiration and an example for us all.”
Kelley is a partner in Cooper Levenson’s Commercial Litigation practice group. A special emphasis of her practice is on probate matters including trust administration disputes, guardianship work and will contests. A graduate of Ursinus College and Rutgers University School of Law Camden, Kelley is an Atlantic County native, but a Cape May County transplant of more than a dozen years.
Kelley served as an intern to Camden County Superior Court Judge Mary Eva Cololillo while attending law school and later served as a law clerk to Atlantic Cape May County Chancery Division Presiding Judge George L. Seltzer.
Kelley is admitted to the bar in New Jersey and the U.S. District Court of New Jersey.
