Robert J. Salzer of Williams Family Law, P.C. took to the ice recently, playing in the 11th Annual “Hockey Helps” 24-hour marathon in Long Island, N.Y. Salzer participates each year in this event that raises funds for local charities, with a focus on helping individuals battling addiction, mental health issues, and cancer, as well as supporting economically disadvantaged children and youth. Since its inception, the event has raised over $6 million. Salzer has played ice hockey for years and currently plays in a men’s league with two former clients.
Playing alongside Salzer were former NHL greats such as Stéphane Matteau, Adam Graves, Brian Mullen, Colton Orr, Mike Hartman, Boo Nieves, Michael Del Zotto and Stefan Matteau, Jr. This year’s marathon included a special appearance by New York Islanders forward Matthew Barzal.
At the event, Hockey Helps announced a donation of $13,000 to support mental health services & programs at The OhioHealth Foundation in memory of Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew, who tragically passed away recently.
Off the ice, Salzer brings the same level of commitment and focus to his legal career. A fellow of the prestigious American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, he focuses on divorce, spousal support, child support, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and high-conflict child custody cases, especially those involving financially complex matters.
