Today was a fantastic day for me!  I volunteered to be an attorney/counselor with the N.C. Bar Association for the 4All Public Service Day.  Many North Carolinians have little or no access to the legal system.  This service project allowed citizens to call in and ask questions regarding legal issues they may be facing.  It was very satisfying for me to donate my time and pull a 3-hour shift to assist fellow North Carolinians.  This experience was a rewarding opportunity to dispel myths and provide clarity of the law to those who needed a little extra help.  The sense of relief and gratitude I received from those I spoke with proved to me what an important service this is for our communities.

Best Regards,
