PHILADELPHIA, May 6, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Local Law Firm Gives Back to the Community on Law Day!
From Attorneys van der Veen, O'Neill, Hartshorn, and Levin:
"On May 1st, Law Day, our firm closed for the afternoon. All eight of our attorneys, our paralegals, and our entire staff conducted a free legal clinic in the Olney section of North Philadelphia at the Oasis City Church. We provided free legal services and food to nearly 50 people. We helped a community that is underrepresented."
Attorneys van der Veen, O'Neill, Hartshorn and Levin recognize the strong need for quality legal services in this community. They were proud to have served on such a significant day.
Attorney van der Veen shared this inspiring and impactful piece of history:
"My grandfather, John Eldred Shields, is credited with starting Law Day many years ago in Connecticut when he was a leader in both the Connecticut and American Bar Associations. I honor him and his work and our profession/vocation on this day." Said van der Veen about the free clinic, "It felt great. It was food for my soul and for the soul of my firm."
