After Michelle DeLeon
was promoted from Asso-

only negative about the
promotion was that it did
not occur sooner!” DeLe-
on easily slipped into the
leadership role and carries
it out with loyalty, enthu-
siasm, and integrity. Staff
and attorney performance,
company moral, and the
firm’s bottom line have all
benefited from DeLeon’s
new role, according to one
of the firm’s managing
partners. DeLeon is com-
mitted to the success of
those around her, making
it her mission to ensure
staff and attorneys have
the tools they need to
thrive. DeLeon carries out
her role while maintaining
a healthy work-life balance
with active involvement
and presence in her chil-
dren’s athletics.
