January 8, 2015Neighborhood Institute Workshop Preview: “Combating Blight in Your Neighborhood” by Peter Duvall
March 6, 2015The GHCC blog team recently checked in with Pessin Katz Law (PK Law) about giving back to the community and the 29th Street Community Center.
Can you please tell us a bit about PK Law?
Pessin Katz Law, P.A. (PK Law) is the tenth largest law firm in the Baltimore area and has been serving clients for over twenty-five years. The firm has offices in Towson, Columbia, and Bel Air and is comprised of over 60 lawyers, paralegals and law clerks, whose practices span the legal field. Practice areas include corporate and business law, real estate, education law, estate planning, elder law, labor and employment, litigation, insurance law and medical malpractice defense.
Why did you choose to sponsor the 1st Annual Oktoberfest Fundraiser for the 29th Street Community Center?
Adam Konstas was the driving force behind PK Law’s decision to sponsor. Adam is an associate at the firm and got involved with the 29th Street Community Center through his involvement in Baltimore Volunteer Maryland’s GIVE Program.
PK Law’s Adam Konstas (right) and Exelon’s Brian Bauder (left) both participated in the 2014 BVM GIVE Program to support GHCC’s 29th St Community Center.
PK Law is proud of its community involvement. As a firm, PK Law participates in quarterly community involvement activities. PK Law attorneys are encouraged to serve on boards and committees, and volunteer their knowledge to help nonprofit organizations, religious groups, recreational teams and civic groups.
Even though your firm is located in the county, why is supporting efforts in Baltimore City important to PK Law?
The firm certainly considers Baltimore City part of its local community and is happy to give back there. Many of the firm’s clients are in the city, a lot of the firm’s legal work is done in the city, many of the organizations the firm supports help those in the city and many of its attorneys live in the city.
Many thanks to PK Law and BVM’s GIVE Program for their support of GHCC’s 29th Street Community Center!
