Carlton Fields Mentioned in Florida Bar News: “Bay Area Legal Services Meets Challenge to Establish Richard C. Woltmann Endowment”

Carlton Fields was mentioned in The Florida Bar News in an article titled “Bay Area Legal Services Meets Challenge to Establish Richard C. Woltmann Endowment.” The article discusses how Bay Area Legal Services has met a $250,000 matching challenge to create the Richard C. Woltmann Endowment at Community Foundation Tampa to help ensure long-term access to justice. The goal was reached with the support of Carlton Fields, whose team — led by Jason Quintero, Kathy McLeroy, Gary Sasso, and former Florida Bar President Gwynne Young — rallied its attorneys to make individual donations, which the firm then matched.

“At Carlton Fields, we believe that access to justice is a fundamental right, not a privilege,” said Quintero while presenting Carlton Fields’ donation. “Our commitment to pro bono service and philanthropy is at the heart of our firm’s culture, which is why supporting the Woltmann fundraiser was a natural choice. We are proud to stand with Bay Area Legal Services in ensuring that those who need legal help the most have an advocate by their side.”
