Bousquet Holstein adds attorney, Lepiane, to Syracuse office

SYRACUSE — Bousquet Holstein PLLC announced that Rosemary F. Lepiane has joined the firm as an attorney in its divorce and family law practice group. 

Lepiane previously operated her own law firm for 10 years. She also previously served as assistant corporation counsel for the City of Syracuse, where she handled complex civil ligation in both Supreme and Federal Court. While there, she successfully defended the city against a $40 million-dollar civil suit. She was also a hearing examiner for the City of Syracuse. 

At Bousquet Holstein, Lepiane will work on civil matters with a focus on family court, divorce litigation, and resolution. She has worked with clients in drafting separation and prenup agreements and litigated divorce cases from evaluating assets and equitable distribution to spousal/child support and custody, according to a Bousquet Holstein news release.

Lepiane is a member of the CNY Collaborative Family Law Professionals, which seeks to resolve cases in a collaborative matter instead of litigation and she is trained in mediation. She also currently sits on the Assigned Counsel Panel Board of Directors, where she serves as board secretary. The organization seeks to ensure that all people have a right to an attorney at every stage in criminal proceedings. 

Lepiane’s prior experience in real-estate law, tax law, and bankruptcy law provides additional client support in complex family and divorce matters, Bousquet Holstein contends.

Lepiane was born and raised in Syracuse. She is a graduate of St. John Fisher College and the Syracuse University College of Law. 

Bousquet Holstein is headquartered at One Lincoln Center at 110 W. Fayette St. in downtown Syracuse. The firm also has offices in Ithaca and New York City.
