Montclair Attorney Honored By Executive Women of New Jersey

MONTCLAIR, NJ — A founding partner at a law firm in Montclair is among dozens of accomplished business, legal, education, government and nonprofit leaders who were recently honored by the Executive Women of New Jersey.

Michelle Ferrer of Ferrer Goldfine Law Group in Montclair was among the community leaders who received an award from the Executive Women of New Jersey (EWNJ), which works to increase the presence of women in boardrooms and among the top leadership of New Jersey companies.

Here’s what earned the local attorney a round of applause from the EWNJ:

“As the founding partner at Ferrer Goldfine Law Group, Ferrer has become a well-respected estate planning attorney in New Jersey and New York. She has helped countless individuals and business owners with all aspects of estate planning, providing legal solutions based on their individual needs. Ferrer also has a full range of services related to special needs planning and adult guardianships. She mentors young attorneys and professionals, especially women who wish to open their own businesses.”

Ferrer said the recognition is an honor.

“As a Latina, I know the power of representation and perseverance,” she said. “Being honored is deeply meaningful because it celebrates my professional journey, the heritage that shaped me, and the women who helped pave the way.”

“To the next generation: embrace who you are, pursue your ambitions boldly, and remember that your success creates a path for others,” Ferrer added.

The organization recently gave a salute to Ferrer and its other 2026 awardees at its Salute to the Policy Makers Gala, which celebrates accomplished women leaders across New Jersey’s public and private sectors.

“This year’s honorees represent the extraordinary depth of women’s leadership across New Jersey,” EWNJ president Susan Dromsky-Reed said.

“These 48 women are leading organizations, strengthening communities, opening doors, and helping shape the future of our state,” Dromsky-Reed said.
