“It was the pleasure of the FLS to present the Eric Turner Award to our very own Karen Friel, Esquire. Karen is, and has been, a non-stop supporter of the FLS. Not only has held numerous leadership positions within our Section, but she always leads by example. Even as the 2021 Delaware County Bar Association President, she attended every FLS meeting and was an active participant. She is a non-stop advocate for her clients. She makes time to take on pro bono cases. She makes our family law bench better by her collegiate and professional attitude towards opposing counsel and the bench. She is always working behind the scenes to get things done. Thank you, Karen, for all you have given to us.” — Kimberly Kryzyzaniak, Esq., Chair, FLS, 2022
