Pryor Cashman congratulates Charles McKenna, who was recently named Homeland Security Chief for New Jersey. McKenna joined Pryor Cashman in the late 1980’s, immediately after his graduation from law school and left the firm after a few years to join the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

McKenna was profiled in an article appearing in The Star-Ledger on February 28, 2010. Gideon Cashman, Pryor Cashman’s Chairman, told the paper that McKenna was a rising star at the firm but says he encouraged McKenna to take a job offer at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark in 1991. Cashman himself had spent four years at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York, first as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and then as Chief of Criminal Appeals.
