NEW YORK, NY, June 30, 2020 – As Pride Month comes to a close, Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP is pleased to announce Founding Partner Roberta (“Robbie”) Kaplan’s inclusion in City & State New York’s 2020 Pride Power 100 list.

Noting Kaplan’s contributions to the LGBTQ community, City & State said, “Representing Edith Windsor in her successful lawsuit to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, Roberta Kaplan is credited with laying the groundwork for the U.S. Supreme Court to guarantee same-sex marriage.
