Attorney Joseph M. Pacella, a solo practitioner and former partner with Egan Flanagan and Cohen is our Spotlight Member of the month. Attorney Pacella has been a member of the Hampden County Board of Directors since 2007, as a Board member, President, and ex-officio past president. Joe has been active in our Lawyer Referral & Information Service for nineteen (19) years both as a panel member and committee member. Attorney Pacella is always willing to speak with a potential client, whether or not in the end it develops into a “good” case or advice only. As a result of his willingness to take the calls and thoroughly evaluate the cases he has submitted over $67,000 in referral case payments during his 19 years on the program. Attorney Pacella has also chaired several HCBA committees over the years including the Lawyer Referral & Information Service, Golf Outing and Poker Tournament fundraisers. Also, when Joe comes into the HCBA lobby during a busy Lawyer for the Day program, he is always willing to lend a hand when it is needed. We would also like to recognize Attorney Pacella for consistently supporting the Hampden County Bar Association as a Partner Level Sponsor ($1,500) every year.
In addition to his commitment to the Hampden County Bar Association, Joe sat on the Board of Directors of Sisters of St. Joseph and participated for many years in Big Brothers Big Sisters. Attorney Pacella also coaches youth sports in Longmeadow. Without dedicated members like Joe, the Hampden County Bar Association would not be the successful organization we are today.
