Congratulations to Polsinelli Shughart Shareholder Melissa Ho who was recognized by the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) as a "Best Under 40." The NAPABA recognized Ms. Ho, along with others, at the national convention in Washington, D.C., November 16. Ms. Ho practices in the firm's White Collar Defense and Government Investigations Practice in Phoenix.
The NAPABA celebrates how far Asian Pacific Americans have progressed in their quest for advancement and how Asian Pacific American attorneys have contributed to and embodied that progress. Where once their efforts revolved around ensuring basic civil rights, they have now evolved to include succeeding at the highest levels in business, law, and politics.
