VLJ’s Alexandra Bravo Selected as One of the New Jersey Law Journal’s 2023 Diverse Attorneys of the Year

Alexandra Bravo, VLJ Staff Attorney

Volunteer Lawyers for Justice is proud and honored to announce our very own Alexandra Bravo, a staff attorney leading VLJ’s Veterans Legal Program, was recently selected as one of the New Jersey Law Journal’s 2023 Diverse Attorneys of the Year.

The New Jersey Law Journal’s Diverse Attorneys of the Year honors diverse attorneys in New Jersey making an impact at a law firm, courtroom, in-house legal department, government agency or public interest organization. Further, the Diverse Attorneys of the Year recognizes the impact these attorneys have on the profession in all its forms, whether it is resolving a significant case or transaction, leading a department through a difficult stretch, or helping change policy. The New Jersey Law Journal sought to highlight the honorees’ accomplishments over the past two years, with demonstrable excellence and accomplishment during that time frame being key to a strong nomination. The New Jersey Law Journal, in their email to Alexandra announcing her selection as one of its Diverse Attorneys of the Year, said, "We received a number of impressive nominations. The recognition is well earned."

VLJ congratulates Alexandra on this well-earned and well-deserved recognition! Alexandra's journey speaks to not only her story, but that of those who came before her. Her parents, determined to find a better life for themselves and realize the “American dream,” immigrated from Peru. Her parents’ journey to the United States underscores Alexandra’s deep appreciation and gratitude for the opportunities she has been given along with the importance of helping those who, in their own way, strive for a better life.

Later this fall, the New Jersey Law Journal will publish a special supplement highlighting the honorees; the special supplement will include a few thoughts on career development, achieving success, and other topics crucial to the legal profession.
