Westchester Elder Law Attorney Anthony J. Enea Named Best Lawyers’ Trusts and Estates 'Lawyer of the Year' in White Plains
White Plains, NY (PRWEB) August 15, 2016 -- Elder law attorney Anthony J. Enea, managing partner at Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano, LLP, has been named the Best Lawyers® 2017 Trusts and Estates “Lawyer of the Year” in White Plains. He has also been selected by his peers for inclusion in the 23rd edition of The Best Lawyers in America in the practice areas of Elder Law and Trusts and Estates.
“Selection for The Best Lawyers in America is an outstanding honor,” said Mr. Enea, who has spent three decades protecting the rights of seniors, the disabled and their families. “I am proud to be recognized by my peers, particularly as a ‘Lawyer of the Year,’ for work that I find so personally rewarding.” The “Lawyer of the Year” recognition is reserved for a single lawyer with the highest overall peer-feedback in a specific practice specialty and geographic location.
A strong leader in Westchester’s legal community, Mr. Enea is president of the Westchester County Bar Foundation, a past president of the Westchester County Bar Association, and a past chair of the New York State Bar Association’s Elder Law Section. Named Westchester County’s Leading Elder Care Attorney at the Above the Bar Awards, Mr. Enea’s practice areas include elder law; Medicaid asset protection trusts; Medicaid applications (home care and nursing home); special needs planning; guardianships (Article 81 and 17-A); and wills, trusts and estates. He is fluent in Italian.
Regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States, Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 50,000 leading attorneys cast over five and a half million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
This marks the sixth consecutive year Mr. Enea has been included in the Best Lawyers list, and the third time he has received recognition as a “Lawyer of the Year” in White Plains. Mr. Enea has also been named as one of Westchester County’s “Super Lawyers” annually since 2007 and was recognized earlier this year with the Honorable Richard J. Daronco Distinguished Service Award from the Columbian Lawyers Association of Westchester County.
An “AV” Rated Preeminent Attorney (Martindale-Hubbell, since 2002), Mr. Enea is a member of the Council of Advanced Practitioners of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and is a past president of the organization’s New York Chapter.
