Attorney At LNichols Law Offices, PLLC Dedicates Time To The Local Communityaw
Charitable Work
Giving back to the community part of our lives, we want to make this world a better place, we think this is an obligation we all share.
With that in mind, we have determined to give back 5% of our time every year to make our world a little better place for everyone. Every month, everyone in the firm donates a full day of their time to a charitable organization determined by a different employee for that month and contributes their time as a team to that organization in our community. In this way, we feel that we are giving back some of the good fortunes that we and our clients have shared as we work together to help our clients achieve their goals.
