wife Lisa and children Ashley, Sean and Jake.
“The Firm is a highly-regarded, reputable firm
and I look forward to being a part of its future,”
said Flanagan. “With my allegiance to the constituents
of Suffolk County, I am particularly looking forward to
working out of the firm’s new Melville location.”
The 6,000 square-foot The Firm suite at 425 Broadhollow
Road in Melville, NY, is due to open mid-February and will
be under the daily management of partner Joseph F. Buzzell.
