Philadelphia, July 5, 2023 – Family law partner, Lawrence J. "Skip" Persick has been honored as a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML). This distinction recognizes Persick's unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards in the field of matrimonial practice. Through their collective efforts, the Fellows of the Academy have significantly elevated the quality of family law practice across the nation, benefiting both attorneys and litigants.
Within his legal practice, Persick specializes in a wide range of areas, including adoption, divorce, custody, support, dependency, and guardianship. His experience encompasses cases involving school discipline and the termination of parental rights.
