This week, District Attorney of Kings County Kenneth P. Thompson announced that our colleague (and incoming Vice President of Committees) Maritza Ming was promoted to become his counsel. This comes shortly after a promotion in April, when Maritza became Chief of the newly created Immigrant Fraud Unit.

Maritza has been an Assistant District Attorney since 1997 and will now advise District Attorney Thompson directly on legal matters concerning the Office. She will be the first person of Dominican descent to hold this position.

We look forward to congratulating Maritza on her accomplishment at the SDNY on Monday, January 12, 2015 when she is sworn in with the 2015 Dominican Bar Association Board of Directors. (RSVP to DBA.RSVP@gmail.com).
