Law360 Pulse, “Kaufman Dolowich Picks Up 7 McGlinchey Stafford Attys,” 2-5-2026

Kaufman Dolowich’s addition of seven attorneys from McGlinchey Stafford was spotlighted in Law360 Pulse. Led by Partner Chantel Wonder, the group includes Partner Kim Israel, Partner Michael Marcelli, Partner Sean Sullivan, Of Counsel Christopher Bolduc, Of Counsel Jordan Goldfarb and Associate Thomas Wisecarver.
Their practice areas largely focus on consumer financial services, employment defense, and insurance coverage. 

Chantel on joining KD, noted in the article: “We were trying to keep as many people together in a group as we could. We had just a really good group that worked together well, and we wanted to try to stay together. We also have a mixed practice. … It was sort of a challenge finding a firm that had a good mix of both insurance and financial services.”

She added, “When I talked to [Kaufman Dolowich], it just seemed like a really good fit with the platform that they have for our work, and then also we just really clicked with the attorneys that we talked to. So I think it’s a good fit culturally and for the work that we’re doing.”

Richard J. Perr, Co-Chair of KD’s Consumer Financial Services Practice Group, in welcoming the group, told Law360: “As consumer financial services litigation continues to grow more complex and more aggressive, having seasoned litigators with deep industry knowledge is critical. This team brings the experience and judgment to deliver practical, business-focused solutions on a national scale, and shared clients with Chantel and the team have expressed how pleased they are to see them join Kaufman Dolowich.”
