Jacksonville attorney Mike Freed has left his mark locally cultivating an annual series of marathons raising money for Jacksonville Area Legal Aid.
Now he’s asking lawyers around the country to donate their time to help to help prevent a deluge of evictions rooted in the pandemic’s effect on jobs and incomes.
“Sometimes you have to give up your time without compensation for the greater good,” said Freed, who is president of the National Conference of Bar Presidents, an organization involving Bar associations in 53 states and U.S. territories.
