It's more common now than ever that you may see or encounter an individual or family that is homeless. These past two years I've meet with more working homeless folks than I've seen in the past. Housing and day to day living is expensive. As the weather gets warmer, you may see an increase of folks in our area because of shelters having different schedules during summer. The officers I work with do a great job maintaining order, preventing illegal activities, enforcing laws and protecting our community. Yet, there are many instances where Law Enforcement is not needed. I've attached a nice reference guide because there are local community resources available that can be utilized if no laws are being broken. Page two is specific and a great example of who you or your company should call or email to assist the folks that may be struggling. Check this resource guide out and feel free to share.

Law firms need to get involved in the communities they serve for a multitude of reasons. Community advocacy isn’t just about feeling good, it brings benefits to you and your whole team. ➡️ You can strengthen your skillset. Whether it’s pro bono representation, or giving free legal advice at a volunteer community event, people learn by doing. The more you practice, the more you learn. ➡️ You can grow your network. When you attend a workshop or community event with other lawyers present, it’s a chance to meet and learn about other areas of law. Once you’re connected, stay in touch and one day they might refer you when looking for an attorney in your field. ➡️ Involving your firm in the community, gets your name out there. Talk to people and make sure they know who you are, and when they’re in a legal bind, you’ll be the first they call. #CommunityAdvocacy #VolunteerLawyers
