The American Bar Association Solo, Small Firm, and General Practice Division will present several awards from 12:45 to 1:45 p.m. CDT Friday, Aug. 6, at a virtual award presentation during the 2021 ABA Hybrid Annual Meeting.
Those being honored include:
• Maryellen Cuthbert of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, with the 2021 Solo and Small Firm Trainer Award, which recognizes lawyers who have made significant contributions to educating lawyers or law students regarding the opportunities and challenges of a solo and small firm practice.
• Andrés W. López with the 2021 Solo and Small Firm Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes the efforts and accomplishments of outstanding solo and small firm practitioners as well as bar leaders and associations.
• Anthony C. Musto with the 2021 Solo and Small Firm Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes the efforts and accomplishments of outstanding solo and small firm practitioners as well as bar leaders and associations.
As private and appointed counsel, Cuthbert has represented juveniles and adult defendants in Massachusetts for over 30 years. As a juvenile supervising attorney, she provides training and mentoring for juvenile trial attorneys. Although her law practice is focused on juveniles and youthful offenders, she also has an extensive criminal practice in Massachusetts Superior Court.
López is the president of The Law Offices of Andrés W. López P.S.C. He represents plaintiffs and defendants in complex civil litigation. Before starting his own firm, López served as a law clerk for U.S. District Court Judge George A. O’Toole Jr., District of Massachusetts, and for U.S. District Court Judge Jay A. Garcia-Gregory, District of Puerto Rico. He also worked in the litigation departments of two big law firms in Boston and San Juan.
Musto is a former city commissioner for the City of Hallandale Beach, was chief counsel of the Florida attorney general’s Miami office, and was chief appellate counsel of the Broward County Attorney’s Office.
Musto organized the first national conference on professionalism for government lawyers, establishing statewide pro bono programs to provide representation for children aging out of foster care and for human trafficking victims seeking sealing or expunction of criminal records. He wrote, submitted and successfully argued in favor of the rule adopted by the Supreme Court of Florida requiring the use of recycled paper for documents filed in the state court system, a rule that resulted in the saving of an estimated 850,000 trees annually.
