快猫视频 Honors Volunteer Attorneys in Delaware
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wilmington, Del.--Four Delaware attorneys have been honored by the 快猫视频 for providing high-quality civil legal assistance to eligible low-income individuals and families.
Helaine M. Barnett, president of 快猫视频, and David Hall, chairman of the 快猫视频 Provision for the Delivery of Legal Services Committee, presented certificates of appreciation to the four attorneys--Tara Ann Blakely, Maggie Ruth Clausell, Vivian A. Houghton and William F. Jaworski Jr.
The certificates of appreciation, which recognized the contributions by the four attorneys to the 快猫视频 of Delaware, were presented at an Aug. 1 reception held in conjunction with a visit by the 快猫视频 Board of Directors to the Delaware program.
"My congratulations to these attorneys for the countless hours they have devoted to successfully representing numerous clients over the years. This recognition of exemplary pro bono service on behalf of clients of an 快猫视频 grantee is part of a larger 快猫视频 initiative, Help Close the Justice Gap, Unleash the Power of Pro Bono,' and vital to our effort to promote equal access to justice," Helaine Barnett said.
A groundbreaking report, issued by 快猫视频 in 2005, documented that one out of every two people who seek help from an 快猫视频-funded program are turned away because of a lack of resources to serve them. To help close this "justice gap," 快猫视频 has called on programs to enhance their private attorney involvement in the delivery of legal services.
The board also approved a resolution thanking Lowenstein Sandler LLP and three members of the firm, Douglas S. Eakeley, a former 快猫视频 board chairman; Robert D. Chesler, and Kathleen A. McBreen for their pro bono representation of 快猫视频.
