Neal & Leroy, LLC, Sponsor for the Chicago Legal Clinic Annual Awards Dinner
Neal & Leroy, LLC, a Chicago-based law firm, nationally-recognized for its experience and knowledge in the area of eminent domain and condemnation, is pleased to contribute to the Chicago Legal Clinic Annual Awards Dinner scheduled for Friday, May 13th at the Hilton Hotel in Chicago, IL. This dinner event will celebrate the Clinic’s mission and honoring local individuals who have made outstanding efforts to make the legal system accessible to the poor. Frank M. Clark, Chairman and CEO of ComEd, will receive the prestigious Cardinal Bernardin Award. Bryan Cave LLP will be the Charles J. O’Laughlin Memorial Award Recipient and the Clinic’s Pro Bono Award will be bestowed upon McDermott Will & Emery, LLP.
Since 1981, the Chicago Legal Clinic has evolved from a small neighborhood office to a keystone provider of legal services to the working poor and disadvantaged in the Chicago area. Through their efforts, hundreds of clients have received legal protection from domestic violence, had their immigration status formalized, adopted children and been rescued from foreclosure. Thousands more received representation in other areas, including landlord/tenant, guardianships, consumer issues and the quest for social security disability benefits.
