Loved seeing these photos in Working in Support of Education’s annual volunteer scrapbook, they are my favorite pro bono agency partner where I am able to give dozens of women free will drafting and signing services, last week I did seven wills in two hours:

Thanks to Hofstra University School of Law schoolmate Seth Presser for always thinking of me, I got to host a document signing for client whom he had referred and dropped off the documents by his office today on a surprise visit:

Missed dinner with out-of-town friends but elated with the result of my efforts:

Some of the 13 clients for whom I drafted free wills at the Manhattan Family Justice Center, love seeing the smiles on these proud women! Amazed that one of my clients limped in on crutches from Queens, she was so motivated to protect her young daughter with a guardianship nomination and testamentary trust. Grateful for a city that puts its resources to work for the least supported in our community and charities like Working in Support of Education that lead the way in financial literacy for all. Loved cranking out $13,000 worth of services in 150 minutes, with the skilled help of three others!
