Candidate: Lois A. Paritsky

I am an attorney, licensed to practice law in New Jersey, and founding partner of Myers & Pico, PC. As a trial attorney I litigated a wide range of civil and criminal cases. The New Jersey Supreme Court appointed me to the Committee on Attorney Ethics, where I adjudicated cases involving the conduct of attorneys. I am admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court.

I first discovered Ponce Inlet in 2009 while on vacation, and made this paradise my home with my husband, Howard. In 2013, I served as Vice-Chair of the Planning Board until 2015, when I became a Councilmember. I currently serve as Second Vice-President to the Volusia League of Cities and advocate in Tallahassee to protect and preserve what we value as a Town: peace, quiet and tranquility. I am honored to serve as a member of the Advisory Board of the American Flood Coalition, a national organization focused on finding solutions to mitigate the damage caused by flooding and sea level rise. I am an animal advocate, a member of the Animal Legal Defense Fund and a member of the Animal Law Section of the Florida Bar Association working to advance the welfare of animals through protections within the legal system.
