Today is #GivingTuesday. The answer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s a day for non-profits to remind us that this season of giving is more than a consumer exercise. We hope it helps us to remember the organizations that contribute to our communities throughout the year. It’s a standard our firm works to live up to through a variety of community-focused efforts and involvement. Perhaps the most tangible way we give back is through our pro bono services. Dean Arthur shares his experience:

I believe it is every attorneys’ obligation to give back to the community in which they live and practice. One of the ways I do this is providing pro bono legal services. I represent parties in Protection from Abuse actions without charge, doing so multiple times throughout the year. The clients are involved in very frightening and confusing situations and truly appreciate the assistance.

I was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Bucks County Legal Aid Society, serving as its president when it was required by federal funders to merge into what is now Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania (LASP), serving the four counties surrounding Philadelphia. I am also on the Board of LASP, serving as its president from 2003 through 2005.

I believe my involvement with this community service provides me with satisfaction that matches the assistance given to those in need.
