Attorneys Michael Emmer and Daniel Soleimani have received the prestigious “36 Under 36” honor by The Jewish News and The Well. The awards program recognizes activists, entrepreneurs, philanthropists and other outstanding Jewish professionals under the age of 36 who are advancing the Jewish community across Metro Detroit.

We are tremendously proud of their accomplishments at this point in their careers and celebrate this outstanding achievement.”

Each year, The Well—an organization building inclusive Jewish community in Detroit for the under-40 crowd—and the The Jewish News partner on “36 Under 36” to recognize outstanding individuals in the Metro Detroit Jewish community.
