Congratulations Rakhi McNeill for being nominated to the Board of the CLM Greater Atlanta Chapter.  She has been named the director of events. We look forward to attending any future events that Ms. McNeill organizes.

Hilliard Castilla has been selected as a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, which is associated with the ABA.  This is a significant honor which only 1% of lawyers receive.   The award is a sign of extraordinary leadership in the legal community.  Only a select few are even nominated.  Congrats Hilliard!

Please join us in congratulating associate Casey Brown as the inaugural recipient of the WACHP Community Spirit Award.  Casey’s commitment to pro bono legal matters, volunteer efforts, and fundraising in our community are commendable.  Casey has done pro bono work with the Cherokee County ADA office and the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Fund.  He has also served the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

Hilliard Castilla recently accepted an invitation to join the Fellows of the American Bar Association.  This honor is limited to one percent of the legal profession in each jurisdiction.  The Fellows comprise a global honorary society of attorneys, judges, law faculty and legal scholars whose public and private careers have demonstrated outstanding leadership and dedication to the highest principles of the legal profession and to the welfare of their communities.  Fellows are recommended by their peers and elected by the Board of the American Bar foundation, the nation’s leading research institute for the empirical study of law.

Thank you to firm associates Andrea Baker and Lucy Aquino for not only spending each day working to achieve lawful and just outcomes for clients, but also for their efforts to support our election process by volunteering through “We the Action,” a group of lawyer volunteers, to assist voters encountering issues on election day.
