Lawyer Wall of Heroes: 26 Stories You Really Should Read
May 25th, 2011. By AbiK
Chances are, none of the lawyers shown above is really comfortable with the title “hero”. And we usually reserve the honor for caped crusaders in tights or, joking aside, those who’ve shown incredibly selfless acts of courage in the face of devastating events. But for the individuals who were extended a helping hand during their own personal hour of need—often when everyone else had turned their backs on them—these attorneys are indeed truly heroes.
In each of our interviews with these attorneys, the majority shared this one quote with our senior legal correspondent, Brenda: “It’s the right thing to do.” If you’re wondering what that ‘thing’ is for each of them, click on their images above to find out. The legal practice areas they’ve chosen to champion and the causes they’ve chosen to support are as diverse as can be imagined—from Hurricane Katrina to children with special needs to the transgender community and even one that combines practicing with preaching.
We continue to be inspired by the pro bono stories we share in our Lawyers Giving Back columns. We hope you are, too.
If you know an attorney who ‘gives back’, let us know—we’d love to share their story as well. Drop us a line at .

All these attorneys are awesome!!! It has been a blessing to work for Michael C. Blickensderfer whom i've worked for 2 years. Mr. Blickensderfer is one of the most humble and spiritual men I know. His firm "Blick Law Firm" has such an amazing spiritual presence as soon as you walk in the door. Mrs. Blickensderfer also known as "Mama Blick" has been an amazing spiritual guidance to me along with my fellow co-workers, she never turns us away and always has her door open. Mr. Blickensderfer is truly a man of faith and by far "walks the walk". God Bless him and has family.. Go Blick!!!!
