Every month, SALA’s Volunteer Lawyers Program recognizes a legal professional for legal volunteerism. Thanks to our volunteer private attorneys, the Volunteer Lawyers Program serves more than 10 percent of SALA’s clients. The award is a distinct honor and highlights the dedication and commitment of 12 individuals each year who give their valuable time and expertise to the community.
Congratulations to Thomas K. Cope, our July 2024 Outstanding Volunteer of the Month Award Recipient.
In addition to being an attorney for 52 years, Thom is an author, lecturer, and a firm believer in a positive mental attitude. He believes the human element is always in play in the practice of law and says human relations are the most important part of his work. SALA’s clients are often dealing with a variety of traumatic events, so when Thom shows up, he not only brings his wealth of knowledge, he brings a kind and caring heart that is so critical for our clients.
