Yesterday our amazing staff members Pat Malley, Esq, Senior Staff Attorney, Faye Chevalier, Paralegal, Patrick McNeil, SOAR Project Director and Maggie Oberkircher, Esq., Pro Bono Coordinator, spent the morning presenting a hybrid SOAR CLE hosted by our friends at Ballard Spahr! SOAR is a big part of HAP’s work and this training program provided an opportunity to recruit, refresh and train volunteers to staff pro bono SOAR cases. A big thank you to our staff for taking the time to present and share their years of expertise with the all attendees, your knowledge is invaluable!!

Good work everyone!! 🎉 🎉
