We are so pleased to begin this pro bono partnership with Eversheds Sutherland and the Julia Kirsch Foundation in an effort to assist more clients with New Jersey guardianship matters.
Attorneys in our New York office and commercial clients recently participated in a training to launch a new signature pro bono project in partnership with Legal Services of New Jersey and Julia Anne Kirsch Foundation. The project, led by Eversheds Sutherland attorney and co-founder of the Foundation Clifford Kirsch and LSNJ Chief Attorney Richard Routh, will help families in need with obtaining guardianship over their disabled children when they turn 18. A sincere thank you to LSNJ and the Julia Anne Kirsch Foundation for their partnership; to Cliff and Richard for their work launching this important project; and to everyone who attended the training.
