QUOTABLE: “One of the things I value most about Orange County is that we have a legal community that is both highly entrepreneurial and deeply community minded. There are excellent opportunities here not only to build successful businesses and careers, but also to give back in meaningful ways.
I have been especially proud to see how many leaders in our legal and business communities support organizations like the Public Law Center and other access to justice initiatives. There is a real spirit in Orange County of using influence and success to help others.”
