Our Interest in the Community
Our goal is to provide at least 200 hours of pro bono (no charge) legal assistance each year to those in financial need and to various consumer, citizen and patient rights issues. In 2000 we exceeded that goal. Some of the areas we worked in include:
|
Concern |
Outcome |
|
Neighbors' concerns regarding the city of Scottsdale's inattention to neighborhood traffic congestion and speed (citizens' right to preserve and protect their neighborhood). |
|
|
Political action committee prosecuted by the town of Paradise Valley (freedom of expression) |
|
|
Interceded on behalf of nursing staff who were subjected to verbally abusive physicians (employees' right to work in a non-hostile environment) |
