At the Legal Aid Foundation’s Annual Campaign for Equal Access Fundraising Luncheon held on December 15, 2011, Cappello & Noël, LLP pledged $50,000 to Legal Aid Foundation in a five year pledge. This spearheads Legal Aid’s Champions of Justice, a multi-year giving society charged with helping establish the sustainability and long-term stability of the nearly 53-year old agency.

Law firms Fell Marking, Abkin, Montgomery, Granet& Raney, LLP and Reicker Pfau Pyle & McRoy, LLP and attorneys Allan Ghitterman, D. William Wagner, Sherry Melchiorre, Amy Steinfeld, Penny Mathison and Lessie Nixon all rose to the challenge and pledged multi-year commitments to Champions of Justice.
