At Adams and Reese, we are very proud of the volunteer efforts of our attorneys and staff. This work is usually done without any public fanfare because, after all, the goal is simply to help to improve the communities in which we live. A recent article in the November 24th edition of The National Law Journal made us especially proud, and we are reprinting it with their permission. Perhaps we do so at the risk of not being "quiet," but we wanted to share this story. (Story and Photo)
