The Erie County Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project has announced that Hurwitz & Fine's Litigation attorney, Patricia A. Rauh, is the recipient of the Rising Champion for Justice Award. This honor is in recognition of the many hours of pro bono services she has provided to the community so early in her career. Admitted to practice in New York in January 2019, only two months passed before she accepted her first pro bono referral from VLP. In her young legal career, Patty has already accepted eight referrals through VLP either representing Article 17A petitioners on behalf of persons intellectually or developmentally disabled, or acting as the Article 81 Court Evaluator in cases involving indigent incapacitated persons.
Patty was featured in the BAEC November/December Bulletin on Page 19 and on the ECBA VLP's social media page.
