AMY ROBINSON NAMED WASHINGTON LAW & POLITICS RISING STAR FOR 2009

For those of you who do not have the pleasure of regularly reading Washington Law & Politics, a pretty interesting publication, our own Amy Robinson has been named as one of its 2009 Rising Stars. This recognition is given to less than 2.5% of the lawyers in the state who have practiced less than ten years or who are under the age of 40. Washington Law & Politics looks for those attorneys who have attained an honor or achievement or credential, peer recognition or professional competence. These characteristics certainly describe Amy.

While Amy’s “stardom” is not new information for any of us at Barron Smith Daugert, we do want to share this exciting news with you. She has just finished her tenure as the President of the Washington Women Lawyers where she instituted a mentoring program for young women lawyers and served as an exceptional representative for issues involving women and the law throughout the state. She did this all while providing excellent representation to her clients. We are also grateful for her continued involvement with the Whatcom County pro bono program, Law Advocates. For those of you who have the pleasure of knowing Amy, we think you will agree that this is such an appropriate recognition – she certainly is a star in every sense of the word.

Congratulations, Amy.
