Carmen stated “I am delighted that Anderson & Kreiger has given me its full vote of confidence by having me join them as a partner.  I could not have asked for a greater group of people to work with: talented lawyers who care deeply about their clients, but also about public service, social justice, and who commit themselves, time and time again, to many causes that benefit society and those without a voice.  I look forward to contributing all of my very best to the firm.” Carmen is on the Board of Trustees for Adelphi University, Discovering Justice and Crossroads (a non-profit devoted to empowering youth).  She is also on the Advisory Board of Trustees for Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and a Board Member at Large for the Massachusetts Women’s Forum.   She is an active member of the Hispanic National Bar Association, Massachusetts Association of Hispanic Attorneys, Women’s Bar Association of Massachusetts, Women’s White Collar Defense Association, American Bar Association, National Association of Former U.S. Attorneys and the Boston Bar Association.
