Firm History
ADC&L has been advising clients on the Peninsula since July 1, 1949 when Michael Aaronson and Melvin E. Cohn established Aaronson and Cohn in San Carlos. In April 1956, Melvin E. Cohn became City Attorney for the City of San Carlos, beginning the firm’s long-standing Municipal Law practice. In October 1963, he was appointed by then-Governor Edmund G. (Pat) Brown to a judgeship on the San Mateo County Superior Court. In September 1957, Kenneth M. Dickerson joined the firm as an associate to assist in the firm’s growing practice. In 1970, Robert J. Lanzone joined the firm as an associate. In 1983, Robert J. Lanzone served as President of the San Mateo County Bar Association. Also in 1983, after 20 years of distinguished service on the Bench, Judge Cohn retired and rejoined the firm. In the 1980's, the firm expanded with the additions of Jean B. Savaree in 1985, Marc L. Zafferano in 1987, and Gregory J. Rubens and Linda J. Noeske in 1989. While the current practice of the firm varies by attorney, we are committed to providing clients with personal and professional service at reasonable cost. |
