Emeritus Attorney Anthony (Tony) Szczygiel has been a vital resource to the health care unit for many years, offering many services, including general advice, review of briefs and court documents, and research assistance as needed. Tony has been a mentor to a staff attorney who was a student in his law school, and his continued mentorship is much appreciated. Tony routinely donates his time researching and discussing issues in long-term care and is a wonderful asset in the advocacy for residents in nursing homes and assisted facilities in Western New York.
