Attorney Nicholas Barnes earns national recognition, becomes CCAL Fellow

Nicholas R. Barnes, Esq., a partner at Williams & Strohm, LLC, Attorneys at Law, has been granted fellowship in the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL). The highly selective College, established by the Community Associations Institute (CAI), serves more than 4,000 attorneys practicing community association law in the United States. Barnes has become one of fewer than 185 practicing attorneys nationwide appointed as a CCAL Fellow.

“This is a prestigious and coveted appointment in our practice area of law, and it is one that Nick has earned through his relentless work on behalf of our community association clients,” said Robin Strohm, partner, Williams & Strohm.

CCAL Fellows are recognized for distinguished professional achievement, leadership, and contributions to the advancement of community association law.

He becomes the fourth attorney of Williams & Strohm’s senior legal team to be granted fellowship into CCAL – a remarkable achievement given the firm’s small size and CCAL’s exclusivity. This extraordinary depth offers community associations and other clients peace of mind as they entrust Williams & Strohm with their legal and compliance issues.
