JENNIFER S. TIER & JOY M. FEINBERG
As partners with Davis Friedman LLP, JOY M. FEINBERG and JENNIFER S. TIER carry on a proud tradition of insightful advocacy in family law that began at Davis Friedman in 1946. Feinberg and Tier joined Davis Friedman’s team of intelligent, seasoned, and leading divorce lawyers, bringing their thoughtful and creative resolution-oriented approach to their clientele. Tier has a passion for family law, dedicating her career to a specialty that encompasses a wide scope of complex issues. Feinberg, who is widely recognized for her support and education of the younger generation, is a fierce and focused advocate for high-wealth clients, business owners, and C-Suite executives. Both build relationships with their clients that help empower them through the divorce process. Strategizing and strength are guideposts for both women.
How should women support other women? Feinberg: There is no greater pleasure than to see the excellence in others and to promote those coming up the ranks. Whatever you give to others, comes back to you tenfold.
What is the most important characteristic of an effective leader? Tier: Patience and listening prior to acting. When one is “heard,” it is consoling, empowering, and appreciated. Being kind when disagreeing is a key to moving forward.
Who is your role model and why? Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was brilliant, focused, rose to the top of her field, questioned everything, and refused to allow anyone to keep her from her goals.
What was a pivotal moment in your career? Feinberg: The case where I used personal injury law to pursue two kidnappers who took their grandson out of the country. By putting a lien on all of their property, they eventually sent their grandson home to his muchrelieved mother.
How can this generation of leaders support the next generation of leaders? Offering guidance if one so desires and assisting when personal issues like illness, divorce, or death of a loved one bring you down. A call, meal, or providing assistance all do good for the soul, relationships, and a better future.
