And on Monday, Attorney Matthew Evans offered to take another pro bono case and he told me to select one for him. At a recent Res Ipsa meeting it was discovered that Attorney Michael McFadden , almost routinely, takes on a new pro bono client every couple of months. Most people who help others do so out of the goodness of their hearts, they aren't looking for a pat on the back or any special recognition. But the good that attorneys do should be recognized. It seems that without fail, the media is quick to bash our Profession.
Jokes involving attorneys and sharks are common.
We need to support and recognize the attorneys in our profession who go the extra mile - those who take the time to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. We need to educate the public and we need to educate the media. Each month, at the monthly Clearwater Bar Association meeting, we are going to publicly recognize an attorney who assisted the less fortunate among us. We are also going to try to educate the media about the work of the Foundation. Thank you, Randy and Jo .
