WILLIAMSBURG — Hon. Lawrence Knipel’s retirement party took place this past Wednesday with an outpouring of appreciation for the former administrative judge. Friends and family gathered to eat, drink and honor Justice Knipel.

Put together by Jake Gold, Hon. Sylvia Ash, Hon. Frank Seddio, Hon. Mark Partnow, and Mike Benjamin, the event took place at Giando on the Water in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Seddio officiated the event.

Ash insisted the planning was a joy and an honor in and of itself. “It was the labor of love. We are so happy the turnout exceeded our expectations, but we were not surprised,” she stated.
