WINTER 2020 NEWSLETTER
A Message From The Executive Director
Dear friends and supporters, I am excited to introduce to you the group of dedicated professionals who recently joined our Board of Directors and our Leadership Council.
Both groups met in recent weeks to set their 2020 goals. Their efforts are critical to keeping our organization a reliable nonprofit law firm for people with low incomes, including for those with complex situations and unique vulnerabilities who struggle to get the legal help they need.
We are also happy to introduce the newest member of the LevittQuinn team, staff attorney Samuel Martinez, who joined us last month.
Working together, we can make a difference.

OUR LEADERSHIP COUNCIL IS GROWING
LevittQuinn’s Leadership Council is growing! Last year, Amanda Fleming, former LQ staff attorney, took over as chair of the LC and has been hard at work developing the Council . Joining Amanda on the LC leadership team for 2020 is Ashlee Hamilton, who moved into the vice-chair position and Michael Petty who became the secretary. We are excited these two former LQ law clerks continue to develop their leadership roles.

LEVITTQUINN’S BEULAH FUND
We started the Beulah Fund in 2018 with an initial gift from Sharon Hulse, LevittQuinn’s Director of Operations, to honor her recently deceased mother, Beulah. The Beulah Fund targets free family law services to two populations of low-income, underserved adults:
- Those over the age of 55
- Those who have an intellectual, mental, or physical disability
Our goal with the Beulah Fund is to be accessible for those who are especially vulnerable, and to give them the services they need to achieve the stability and peace they deserve. One such client is a woman we served in 2019. Eighty years-old and in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, she was facing homelessness when she came to us desperate for help. We represented her in family court and got her the spousal support order she needed to stabilize her finances and stay in her home.
