Each week our team reviews our members websites and social media posts to find updates that fall into the category of “Good People Doing Good Things.” Below are examples of Primerus members giving back to their local community.

Buchanan Firm – Grand Rapids, Michigan

Rob Buchanan and his team are always looking for ways to volunteer in the community.  Unfortunately, their favorite places were not currently taking volunteers for the safety of their staff. They began looking for other opportunities and recently teamed up with Friends of Grand Rapids Parks to focus their efforts on a community litter cleanup project. On June 26th, the Buchanan Firm team spent the afternoon cleaning up the parks of Ah-Nab-Awen and Rosa Parks.

 

HHG Legal – Perth, Australia

HHG Legal is known for giving back to Western Australia. Below are a few examples of their efforts.

      • Despite their immeasurable contribution to the community, not-for-profit organizations across Western Australian are struggling to keep their doors open. Since 2015, we have been fighting against this trend, delivering $450,000 of financial and pro-bono assistance to three key charities. These include:resh Start Recovery Program (started by Dr. George O’Neil to treat drug addiction)
      • Hagar Australia (a specialist aftercare agency that works with women and children who have survived extreme abuse or trafficking)
      • Path of Hope (an organization providing assistance and resources to women vulnerable to, or currently experiencing, domestic violence)
  • Free Legal Assistance Clinics
    • Our free legal assistance clinics are open to all, no matter how simple or complex the advice required is. Short, sharp, and free of charge, these appointments are run by award-winning lawyers across Perth, Mandurah, and Albany. The clinics enable them to provide legal aid and information on the following:
      • Explaining Court procedures;
      • Explaining alternatives to Court;
      • Interpreting legal documents;
      • Assisting in writing brief letters;
      • Referring you to external organizations or individuals who may assist your circumstances; and
      • General advice.

Kudos to Primerus members Buchanan Firm and HHG Legal for their immense efforts in their local communities.
