About New York State Bar Association:

The New York State Bar Association encourages lawyers to make the law accessible to all, including those with chronic illness. As part of this effort they launched a new campaign called The Good We Do to recognize the significant contributions made by the scores of attorneys across the state who donate their time, services and expertise to meet the ever-growing legal needs of low-income people and others who have been disadvantaged by health issues, the economy or other problems.

New York State Bar Association President Michael E. Getnick (Getnick Livingston Atkinson & Priore, LLP of Utica, New York), said, "Increasingly, more and more New Yorkers and worthy non-profit organizations, are finding it harder to keep their heads above water as they try to navigate our legal system. Whether in planning for incapacity, foreclosure cases, or child custody cases, every New Yorker should have equal access to justice and legal services. The State Bar is proud to salute attorneys, like Marty Shenkman, who truly live the words, and justice for all."
