FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  June 7, 2023

The Hispanic Bar Association of New Jersey (“HBA-NJ”) is pleased to congratulate longtime member and former trustee, Ricardo Solano Jr. on his return to Gibbons P.C. (Gibbons) as co-chair of its newly formed White Collar and Investigations Group. This will be Mr. Solano’s third stint at Gibbons. He began his legal career at Gibbons as an associate in the Criminal Defense practice and later returned as a Director in that practice. This time he will help launch, lead, and build the White Collar & Investigations Group.

Mr. Solano will co-chair the practice with longtime Gibbons attorney Lawrence S. Lustberg, another well-respected and senior criminal defense attorneys in New Jersey and beyond and a nationally recognized authority in constitutional and criminal law and procedure, who has been responsible for many seminal federal and state court decisions in a broad range of cases.

Mr. Solano is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and First Assistant Attorney General of New Jersey. He clerked for the Honorable Maryanne Trump Barry of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the Honorable Deborah T. Poritz of the New Jersey Supreme Court. More recently, he was a partner at Friedman Kaplan Seiler Adelman & Robbins LLP, with a focus on white collar crime. Mr. Solano later joined The Straus Group, a private investment family firm in Fort Lee, and CareOne as its Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. Mr. Solano grew up in Paterson and currently resides in Bernardsville. He earned a B.A. from New York University and a J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law. Mr. Solano is currently President of the Association of the Federal Bar of New Jersey and is a supporting member of the HBA-NJ and a former trustee for the organization.

Albertina Webb, President of the HBA-NJ, commented, “Ricardo has served the Hispanic community and the legal profession throughout his career.  He is well respected and regarded in the legal community.  He has been a loyal HBA-NJ member and supported our mission and events with his attendance and participation.  I am proud to see him take on the new role in his career.  It seems a natural step in his career trajectory and Gibbons is very lucky to have him.   We wish Ricardo success in his new position.”
