Advocates for Justice
Our Lawyers Volunteer Hundreds of Hours of Free Legal Representation Each Year
We believe in giving back. We believe in helping others. We believe in being the difference that makes the difference in the world, this country, and in our communities.
We understand that sometimes without proper legal representation victims receive no respect or restitution within the justice system.
Advocates for Justice (AFJ) is one of the ways our firm gives back to the community.
AFJ motivates, inspires and empowers students to achieve academic excellence and make positive contributions at school, in their communities, and to our world.
