It is with much sadness that we announce that Brian Pollock passed away after a long battle with ALS, a/k/a Lou Gehrig’s disease. Over the last five years, Brian faced this brutal disease with remarkable courage and grace. Brian was an outstanding, selfless partner and brilliant lawyer whose skills were respected and appreciated by other members of our firm, other practitioners in the bar and by our clients. His tenure at the firm was remarkable and he had deep relationships and his passing leaves a hole. One that we can partially fill by all of us continuing like Brian did in his career and in his life: give your best in all you do, be a positive influence to those around you and never shy away from a challenge, even when the odds are stacked against you.
