The firm maintains a strong tradition of service for the good of society by encouraging all attorneys to engage in civic and community activities, politics and public service, and service to disadvantaged people. We are always involved in many charitable or reduced fee engagements. Whether we are representing a death row inmate, advocating for Maryland's watermen on the Chesapeake Bay, helping to produce housing opportunities for the indigent, or working to make Baltimore's School for the Arts stronger (to mention only a few of our projects), our attorneys and staff are motivated by a desire to use their training and talents to improve the lives of others. Our attorneys hold leadership positions in many of the region's businesses and charitable organizations. The firm, its attorneys, and their families also contribute generously to many worthwhile causes and organizations. For example, Gallagher Evelius & Jones LLP is often the leader among Maryland law firms in per capita giving to the United Way of Central Maryland's annual fundraising campaign. The firm and several individual attorneys have been recognized by various organizations for providing pro bono legal services and community service. We give our attorneys the freedom, encouragement, and support to make positive contributions beyond the important work of representing our paying clients.
