At The Gori Law Firm, we strongly believe in giving back and being an active member of the community. We know that we have a mission to serve the neighborhoods that have believed in us by relying on our firm and its dedicated staff. By aligning with meaningful organizations in the communities we serve, we aim to improve the quality of life of area residents as well as our valued employees.
Supporting organizations that do so much good, both for our communities and the world, is a worthwhile endeavor that we will always pursue. Over the years, we have been advocates for organizations that support animal rescue and care, child welfare, pediatric cancer research, laborers and more. We're sincerely grateful to be in a position to help. For example, because of our firm's unwavering commitment, the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation, along with over 150 other local organizations (and a variety of worthy causes), have benefited financially. We have truly been touched by the stories of many of the groups that we sponsor, and we are always on the lookout for organizations that align with our core values.
