Celebrating 100 Years of Trusted Counsel
Honoring a century of service to our clients, our communities, and the legal profession.
Underberg & Kessler began as a two-lawyer partnership in the Union Trust Building at 19 West Main Street in downtown Rochester, New York. From those early days, the firm grew steadily by attracting talented attorneys, expanding into new practice areas, and opening offices in Buffalo, Canandaigua, and Geneseo. While our size and capabilities have evolved, our dedication to thoughtful, client-focused counsel has remained constant.
As we celebrate our 100th anniversary, we honor the people, values, and milestones that have shaped our firm and reaffirm our commitment to the clients and communities we serve as we look ahead to our second century.
