Please join us in congratulating Luciano Valerio in passing the Florida Bar Exam!

Despite his full case load of diverse litigation matters, Luciano found time to prepare for a bar exam in one of the tougher states to gain admission. His achievement will also help GMP expand its agriculture, water, estate planning, and insurance practice areas in Florida.

Way to go, Luciano!

GMP is proud to support our schools and the students they serve.

Thanks to APS Board Member Summer Hall, we had the opportunity to connect with Barber CLC and learn more about the school’s needs and the incredible work happening there every day.

GMP was honored to donate classroom supplies, along with more than 60 backpacks filled with school supplies, books, and snacks for students. We were also grateful to meet with Principal Williams, who generously gave us a tour of the school and shared insight into both the opportunities and challenges faced by the Barber CLC community.

Principal Williams and the staff are deeply committed to creating a positive environment for learning and supporting their students, and GMP is honored to contribute to their mission. Thank you to Barber CLC for welcoming us!

Thank you to Saint Ignatius High School for hosting a wonderful event for young lawyers. Our attorneys enjoyed meeting fellow alumni in the field and brought legal insights, connections, and memories back to the office!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual Young Lawyer Happy Hour at Masthead Brewing Co. From practicing attorneys and recent bar exam takers to law students and those considering a future in law, it was a great evening of reconnecting, networking, and bringing together alumni at every stage of the legal profession.

We are especially grateful to our sponsoring firms for helping make the evening possible: Sobo & Sobo, KJK, BakerHostetler, and Calfee, Halter & Griswold. Thank you for your generous support of our alumni and the next generation of leaders in law.

We look forward to continuing to strengthen the Saint Ignatius legal network in Cleveland and beyond. Go Cats!
