Getting Involved. Giving Back.
At Thornton, we recognize the importance of giving back and supporting our communities through both firm-wide initiatives and the individual efforts of our attorneys and staff. In addition to our involvement with the Habitat for Humanity and the San Antonio Bar Association’s Community Justice Program, our attorneys and staff serve in numerous roles as community leaders, board members, volunteer coordinators and supporters of a variety of different philanthropy efforts throughout the state.
Community Justice Program
In October 2006 the firm once again participated in the San Antonio Bar
Association’s Community Justice Program. A team of over 25 attorneys and
staff provided pro bono legal counseling at the event held at the Wesley
Community Center in San Antonio. By going into the neighborhood where the
clients live, our lawyers and staff are able to bring legal services to many
people who would otherwise not have access to counsel or the courts, and we
are proud to be a part of this program.
Firm Participates in Second Habitat for Humanity Home Build
Project
Given the success of last year’s volunteer project, Thornton
Biechlin Segrato Reynolds & Guerra participated in another Habitat for
Humanity home build on June 17, 2006. The firm fielded a team of over 20
employees, spouses and adult children who helped with roofing, drywall,
and building of a tool shed at a new home in the Palo Alto neighborhood
on the southern side of San Antonio.
Legal Assistant Rose Ann Cavazos, who came with her daughter, had this to say about the experience. “It was the first time that either my daughter or I had participated in something like this. We really enjoyed being involved and doing our part to help out.”
