Let's Toast Our 2020
Volunteer Lawyers!
As 2020 comes to a close, we'd like to raise a glass to all the attorneys who gave their time and talents throughout the year to provide low-income residents of Jefferson County with critically needed legal services.

This year especially, we thank our volunteers for sticking with us through unprecedented challenges. When the pandemic hit, we switched from in-person Help Desks to virtual ones to continue providing uninterrupted assistance. Our volunteers stepped up to assist clients remotely, with many attending virtual hearings on their behalf.

Among those who went above and beyond to serve throughout the year, we want to give special recognition to the following who each volunteered 10 hours or more in 2020:
Averie Armstead (Starnes)
Stephen Bulgarella (Sirote)
Katlyn Caldwell (Balch)
John Carroll 
Julie Carter
Chris Christie (Sirote)
Lula Cole
Kathy Collier (Maynard)
