Michael P. McDermott has been named President at O'Connell and Aronowitz

ALBANY, NY (02/11/2020) (readMedia)-- O'Connell and Aronowitz, one of the Capital District's largest and most diverse law firms, has a new President. The law firm today announced that Michael P. McDermott has succeeded Jeffrey J. Sherrin in that role.

McDermott, who is based at the firm's Albany headquarters, has been with O'Connell and Aronowitz for 13 years, focusing on criminal defense and personal injury litigation. He joined the Firm after a lengthy career with the Albany County District Attorney's office. He is a graduate of Albany Law School and Siena College.

"I look forward to continuing our 95-year tradition of providing exceptional legal services to our clients while partnering with local civic organizations to improve the quality of life in the Capital District," McDermott said of his new position. "O'Connell and Aronowitz has been the trusted legal advisor to over three generations of families and businesses and we are well positioned to continue that tradition for generations to come."

Under his watch as Firm President for over 13 years, Sherrin spearheaded expansion of the Firm's health law and business law practices. He said O&A is poised for McDermott to continue the Firm's growth.

"While deciding to step down from this position I have been privileged to hold for so many years, one of my hopes was to find a successor who would not only continue the existing initiatives but also bring new vigor and foresight to the task," said Sherrin. "Mike is just the person to do that."

"It's not just we at O'Connell and Aronowitz who recognize Mike's leadership," Sherrin said referring to McDermott's recent installation as President of the Albany County Bar Association. "Best wishes to Mike for great success in both positions."

The firm, which got its start in Albany in 1925, also has an office in Saratoga Springs.
