Legal Aid Service of Broward County to Honor Longtime Civil Servants

| SFBW Staff

Two longtime lawyers who served the Broward County community will soon be honored for their service at the 19th Annual for the Public Good Gala fundraiser.

Anthony J. (Tony) Karrat, Esq., dedicated 46 years of his career working for Legal Aid Service of Broward County (LAS), a nonprofit law firm established in 1973. An endowment fund has been created to honor Karrat’s legacy as Executive Director.

Along with Karrat (pictured), the Honorable Thomas Lynch, an attorney who previously served as a judge for Broward County for over 30 years, will be honored with an “Excellence in Justice” award, which was created to celebrate his decades-long dedication to serving the community.

The two dedicated law professionals will be honored at the fundraiser, which takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 14 at the Signature Grand, 6900 W. State Road 84 in Davie. The gala will feature over 400 lawyers, judges and members of the business community during an evening of networking and dinner. The event is hosted by Legal Aid Service of Broward County (LAS) and Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South Florida (CCLA). The proceeds benefit the two nonprofit organizations that work to provide quality legal aid to low-income residents.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
