We extend the same commitment to giving back to the community as we do toward meeting clients’ needs and providing superior legal services. We strongly believe in community service and charitable contributions and our attorneys and staff are equally interested and committed to helping those in need.
Such a commitment and social responsibility is part of our firm’s culture and is evident from the variety of community service the firm supports and in which its employees participate. Our volunteerism and charitable giving encompasses sponsorship of youth programs such as “We the People,” which promotes understanding and discussion of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights, to serving on nonprofit boards, mentoring youth from disadvantaged economic backgrounds, leading and assisting in fundraising events, building schools in third world countries, and serving meals at homeless shelters.
In addition to the firm’s volunteerism and charitable giving, nearly all our attorneys participate in the firm’s pro bono practice area which was officially established in 2003 in response to Minnesota Chief Justice Kathleen Blatz’s call to law firms to provide help to the community.
Foley & Mansfield attorneys invest hundreds of hours providing free services to low-income individuals and nonprofit agencies. We help tenants keep roofs over their heads, resolve credit issues for disadvantaged clients, improve foster children’s living conditions, help parents formalize adoptions, represent indigent citizens accused of crimes, help place defendants in substance abuse treatment programs, mediate disputes for nonprofits, provide arbitration services for the Better Business Bureau, and other community based services.
