William J. Dreyer of Albany, founding partner of Dreyer Boyajian, has been honored with the 2018 Attorney Professionalism Award by the Committee on Attorney Professionalism of the State Bar Association.
Dreyer received his award on January 25 during the Association’s House of Delegates dinner in New York City. The award recognizes members who display the highest standards of professionalism, commitment to promoting respect for the legal system, outstanding ethical conduct, competence, good judgment, integrity and civility.
“William Dreyer received a broad range of support from colleagues, clients, jurists and adversaries. It truly seems that he is a lawyer that makes other lawyers better by virtue of knowing him,” said Andrew L. Oringer of New York City (Dechert) who serves as chair of the Committee on Attorney Professionalism. “We are proud to have him as this year’s winner.”
