This week, Volunteer Lawyers Birmingham is thrilled to recognize Bressler Amery & Ross PC as a Silver Level Champion for Justice!

Their strong connection to VLB is reflected not only in their financial generosity, but also in how their attorneys regularly volunteer their time and legal expertise to help individuals and families navigate challenging legal issues. That hands-on involvement is an essential part of building a community where people can access the help they need when facing a legal problem.

Thank you, Bressler, for investing in access to justice and putting your commitment into action! We are honored to have you alongside us in this vital work.

Team VLB is most grateful for our Champions for Justice. Through their pledges, these law firms and corporations make a meaningful impact on providing access to justice for the neighborhoods and communities we call home.
