Kevin Federation attended State University of New York at Fredonia for undergrad and graduated from Boston College Law School, cum laude. A fun fact about him is that he was an investment advisor before going to law school.

Nolan Hale completed his undergrad at State University of New York at Buffalo then graduated from Syracuse University College of Law. Nolan was an exercise science major in undergrad with the intention to become a physical therapist until he took a law class and was hooked.

We could not be happier to have Kevin and Nolan on our insurance defense team.

Last is Brandon Snyder, long time summer associate in our Buffalo office and proud member of our firm championship softball team, will be joining our Property Litigation team.
