While we pursue our professional goals, we also endeavor to improve the quality of life in our communities and around the world. Members of the Moss & Barnett team apply the same dedication to service by making significant contributions of their time and resources to charitable organizations important to all of us.

Every year, Breaking Free helps an average of 400-500 women and girls escape systems of prostitution and sexual exploitation through advocacy, direct services, housing, and education. This past holiday season -- and for the fourth year in a row -- the firm's women attorneys "adopted" three Breaking Free families for the holidays. Our attorneys supplied gifts and gift cards according to each family's "wishes," helping to ensure that these families had a joyful holiday. In addition, members of the firm continue to donate various daily items in need such as pots and pans, silverware, and women and children's clothing. More >
