I have been proud to be involved with the Montgomery Bar Foundation since it was founded as the charitable arm of the Montgomery Bar Association in 1987. Over the years, the Montgomery Bar Foundation has distributed nearly half a million dollars in grants to worthy causes that contribute to the quality of life in our community. As a long-time supporter, director and trustee of the Montgomery Bar Foundation, I am proud of what we have accomplished. Bar Foundation grants are made possible by the generous support of members of our profession who believe in giving back to the community in which they live and work.

SPRING 2014
As a Bar Foundation Fellow, I support the foundation’s activities because I believe the Bar Foundation truly makes a difference. The Foundation’s Board of Trustees recently approved the creation of the Harvey F. Strauss Legacy Society, in honor of our colleague who dedicated his career to seeing that justice is served for the most disadvantaged citizens of this county. The Strauss Society recognizes and honors individuals who include the Montgomery Bar Foundation in their estate planning. Harvey embodies the highest aspirations of the profession. Moreover, his career reflects a responsibility that we all share – justice is best served when it is enjoyed by all. Recently, I revised my will to include a gift to the Montgomery Bar Foundation, so it can continue to advance the cause of justice for years to come. Please join me.
