“I am incredibly honored that my fellow trial lawyers have entrusted me with the task of guiding MAJ as the 69th president of our organization,” Weiner stated. “This is the proudest moment of my legal career.”
Weiner continued, “I am especially grateful to immediate Past President Donna MacKenzie for her tireless dedication and advocacy on behalf of our clients.”

“MAJ is a unique organization. Despite the industry’s constant competition for clients and sometimes opposing interests, our trial lawyers all want the best for one another,” Weiner said. “Our organization stands together in the face of adversity, and we come out stronger on the other side of it all. I couldn’t be more proud to work with the talented professionals that make up our organization.”
