Over 250 members of Brooklyn’s esteemed legal community gathered at El Caribe in Mill Basin on Friday, June 9, for the glitzy annual dinner of the Columbian Lawyers Association. The gala was a celebration of the past year’s achievements, a farewell to outgoing president Salvatore Scibetta, and a hearty welcome to the incoming president, Yolanda Guadagnoli.

An evening of festivity and camaraderie was attended by a constellation of notable figures, including Mayor Eric Adams and Attorney General Letitia James. Not to mention the presence of over 50 distinguished judges from Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island.
