Community Involvement
At Groom Law Group we are dedicated to the community in which we work and play. This dedication is best shown through the charitable work that we do, the charitable events that we support, and our charitable partners.
Charitable Work
Our charitable work centers on activities that make a difference in individual lives. On an individual level, our assistance takes on many faces for those in need – from adoption, to tax assistance, to disability and social security benefits, to preparing wills and domestic relations orders, and beyond. On a larger scale, we help start-up charitable organizations find their way through the various state and federal filings, and assist with on-going employee benefit issues. Please visit our Pro Bono practice page to learn more about the work that we do for these clients.
