Review for Appleseed Network, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have worked with Appleseed for almost six years, both in Alabama and nationally. This organization is able to leverage its contributions by enlisting the pro bono efforts of lawyers from many firms to thoroughly analyze and recommend solutions for systemic justice problems. As a lawyer, it is highly rewarding to apply your expertise and years of experience to a problem area in which you practice. For me, it is the area of debtor/creditor law. I regularly monitor developments and keep local and national staff apprised. Appleseed has developed guidelines for judges on the evidentiary standards required to grant creditors final judgments thus avoiding having debtors subjected to judgments supported by flimsy evidence. Appleseed also is working on reining in the obscene rates of interest charged by payday lenders.
I support Appleseed with my time, talent and treasure. It is always "doing good."

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Help it develop a base of national annual contributors.
