Longtime Broad and Cassel West Palm Beach managing partner Patricia Lebow is handing off her management role to colleague Clifford Hertz to focus full-time on her legal practice.

Lebow joined the firm in 1976 and was the firm's administrative partner from 1980 to 1983. In 1983 she founded the firm's West Palm Beach office and hired Hertz, now a veteran real estate and land use attorney. They have practiced together for more than 33 years.

“I am very excited about the next step in my career where I can focus exclusively on serving my clients and practicing law full time without any administrative or management responsibilities,” said Lebow, whose practice focuses on estates and trusts and litigation. “I'm fortunate to be able to turn over the reins to my longtime partner Clifford.”
