Philanthropy

Supporting individuals, organizations and the community

At its core, philanthropy is anything that represents a direct effort, ideally without an expectation of receiving something in return. Many organizations directly benefit people who need help, others such as conservation nonprofits contribute in ways that indirectly but significantly affect us and our future. The size of the contribution is not what characterizes the support, it is the heartfelt intent to help. We believe it is important to provide assistance to individuals, organizations and the community.

Our litigation law firm is happy to support efforts at a local level through food drives, regional level with the Bone Marrow Foundation and national level through the Holiday Mail for Heroes Program.
