-M&W are SATLA Community Partners for 2007. The South Alabama Trial Lawyers Association (SATLA) is a local organization of lawyers who represent consumers and injury victims. The attorneys at M&W have been members of this organization since it was founded in 1998. They have also served as officers for the organization. Besides being a professional organization, SATLA supports a wide variety of charitable and consumer awareness projects. To help fulfill this important task, SATLA asks member attorneys and law firms to become Community Partners by donating extra funds over the regular dues to the organization. These extra funds are used to support a wide variety of community projects and charitable activities.  M&W has again agreed to be a SATLA Community Partner for 2007. They have held this designation ever since the Community Partner program was started in 2000.  Last year SATLA donated over $10,000 to area charities.

- Community Giving.  Charitable activities continued to be an important outreach to our community.  At M&W we believe that being active in our community is an important part of our law firm’s identity.  At M&W doing good work for our community is just as important to us as doing good work for a client.  Last quarter 15 national and local charities received monetary support from M&W or it atorneys.
