Looney & Grossman believes service to the community is a critical component
to the practice of law. From its inception, the firm has devoted its talent,
time, and resources to community service. In 1968, Bill Looney and other
members of Boston's legal profession organized the Lawyer’s Committee
for Civil Rights under the Law of the Boston Bar Association. At its inception,
Looney & Grossman made space available for the offices of that organization.
In 2003, Bill Looney along with the Committee's founders were recognized
for this extraordinary endeavor at the Committee's 35th Anniversary Gala.
Looney & Grossman has continually provided pro bono or reduced fee representation to individuals and organizations that strive to advance community related issues. |
Looney & Grossman's pro bono efforts have varied from providing
legal representation to clients who cannot afford representation to serving
on the boards of agencies, which provide services to children. Most recently,
Stewart F. Grossman formed and is President of the Red Auerbach Youth
Foundation Inc., which supports innercity children in after-school athletic
programs.
In 2003, Looney & Grossman received the Coast Guard Public Service Award
for "extraordinary commitment to providing legal services to Coast Guard
personnel and their dependents." The commendation describes Looney & Grossman
as the "only law firm in the country to provide such services through
a formal agreement. Members of Looney & Grossman have provided invaluable
assistance by handling numerous complex and urgent matters… involving
complex family law issues, estate planning for Coast Guard members with
special needs children, complete probate matters, consumer law issues,
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Right Act issues and landlord-tenant
issues."
Looney & Grossman has continually provided pro bono or reduced
fee representation to individuals and organizations that strive to advance
community related issues. Throughout the year, Looney & Grossman attorneys and staff sponsor events, participate in charitable walks, and volunteer at many nonprofit organizations. Looney & Grossman is dedicated to and continually strives to support the local community and those in need.
