Giving Back

Giving Back, Beyond the Courtroom.

Giving mattered in my household long before I could give anything myself. Here’s how it continues — one holiday drive at a time.

Thanksgiving 2024

The Thanksgiving Turkey Drive.

In 2024, I organized a Thanksgiving Turkey Drive to help Connecticut families sit down to a holiday meal. We invited people to nominate individuals and families who could use a little extra support during the season.

With the help of the L.A. LAW, LLC team, we delivered approximately 20 turkeys to families, individuals, and two local schools with personal connections to members of our firm.

For me, giving back is about more than practicing law. From advocating for clients to supporting families at the holidays, I want to make a real difference across Connecticut.

Holiday 2025

Operation E.L.F.: Supporting Connecticut Military Families.

In 2025, I supported Operation E.L.F. (Embracing Lonely Families), a holiday initiative that brings Christmas joy to military members and their families here in Connecticut.

We turned the L.A. LAW, LLC office into a donation headquarters and collected toys, books, coloring supplies, jump ropes, and other gifts for the children. We also gathered gift cards to grocery stores, gas stations, and local restaurants, to give the families some extra support through the holiday season.

Whether I’m advocating for a client or supporting military families at the holidays, giving back goes beyond the courtroom.
