"Ten Years After" at B&B!1 by Donald R. Barthel, LLP Congratulations are in order for B&B's Managing Partner, Mark S. Fletcher, and Tahmeena I. Ahmed, the Partner and Managing Attorney for our Tarzana office. Mark recently celebrated his tenth year at B&B. In that time, Mark's skills, talents and hard work quickly moved him through the ranks from Associate, to Managing Attorney and Equity Partner, to his current position: Managing Partner. In that capacity, Mark oversees the day-to-day operations of the firm's thirteen offices. He has served in his current capacity since 2003. Tahmeena, too, will be celebrating her tenth anniversary with B&B in July. Originally hired as an Associate, Tahmeena soon distinguished herself as a top-notch attorney. She quickly earned the right to be the Managing Attorney in B&B's Tarzana office and was thereafter made an Equity Partner in April of 2002. During her tenure as the managing attorney, the Tarzana office has flourished, growing from 2 to 13 attorneys. Mark & Tahmeena: You're not getting older, you're getting better! Congratulations! Don Barthel is a Founding Partner of Bradford & Barthel, LLP and founder of B&B Rating Services. 1 Apologies to the band, Ten Years After, who some of you will remember was founded by Alvin Lee and Leo Lyons, and who rocketed to fame on the strength of their breakthrough American appearance at Woodstock and their megahit "I'm Going Home."
