Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP successfully raised more than $38,000 in support of the Legal Aid DC Making Justice Real Campaign. The firm has proudly supported the campaign for more than 30 years, and this year’s efforts topped last year’s record-setting results as the highest amount of money raised in the history of the firm’s participation. Fundraising efforts were coordinated by Nicholas Drews, Madalyn “Mady” Moore, Aubrianna Mierow, Mark Ingram, Chloe Dupre, and Rob Edwards.

The Making Justice Real Campaign helps provide Legal Aid DC with the resources it needs to support DC’s most vulnerable residents. The District has some of the highest rates of economic and racial inequality in the country, including in the courtroom – more than 80% of litigants in the District lack legal representation. Legal Aid DC helps to close this access to justice gap by assisting residents in a wide range of civil legal matters related to housing, domestic violence, family law, access to public benefits, immigration, criminal records, debt collection, and more.

“We are incredibly thankful for the contributions of the amazing attorneys and staff at Hunton, which enabled us to raise a record high amount in support of the Making Justice Real Campaign,” said Drews. “And we are immensely grateful for the continued and important work that Legal Aid DC does on behalf of the District’s most vulnerable residents.”

Funds from this year’s Campaign will help Legal Aid provide legal services to thousands of DC residents in need. Additional details on the Campaign and Hunton Andrews Kurth’s involvement can be found here.
