  • Last month, MacDonald Illig had the opportunity to host tables at the Erie County Bar Association's Community Law Day and The Nonprofit Partnership's Keystone Nonprofit Conference, two events dedicated to education, connection, and service. ⚖ Community Law Day brought invaluable resources to the public with free presentations by attorneys on crucial topics like divorce and custody, housing and eviction, immigration, elder law, disability rights, criminal law, and more. 🤝 Keystone Nonprofit Conference was a dynamic gathering of nonprofit professionals, offering a wealth of learning and networking opportunities for leadership and program staff alike. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our tables to connect! We're committed to supporting our community and the nonprofit sector, and we look forward to more opportunities to engage. #FlashbackFriday #CommunitySupport
