Baltimore -- Whiteford Taylor & Preston was very honored to receive a Trailblazers Award from the Equal Justice Council of Maryland Legal Aid on June 18, 2013.
The Council noted that Trailblazer Awards are given to firms that have "continuously demonstrated their commitment to ensuring equal access to justice and support of Maryland Legal Aid…"
Accepting the award on behalf of the firm was Paul Nussbaum, a member of the firm's Executive Board, and who is also a current member of the Equal Justice Council. Martin Fletcher, WTP's Managing Partner, said, "This award has deep roots for us, since one of our founders, Wilbur 'Woody' Preston, was the founding chair of the Equal Justice Council.
