Community Commitment

As a firm, we understand the importance of a commitment to community service. Our attorneys assume active roles in local community government, school boards, charitable organizations and service organizations. Whether offering legal skills, volunteer hours or simply a helping hand, Querrey & Harrow lawyers find that a truly well-rounded professional serves the greater community as a whole.

In addition to the individual commitments our attorneys make, our firm supports the Chicago Debate League and Misericordia, with our attorneys and staff alike contributing time and effort to benefit our community.

For the Chicago Debate League, our employees are invited to serve as guest judges for an annual tournament we sponsor during the school year. Through this experience, we have an opportunity to positively affect the lives of Chicago Public High School students, who spend hundreds of hours outside normal classroom hours working to improve their reading, speaking, writing, and listening skills. This experience empowers them with confidence and knowledge about world issues not normally encountered by teenage students.

For Misericordia, our employee volunteers spend a day on the streets of the Chicago Loop raising money for a local home which has provided services for persons in need since 1921 and now supports more than 600 children and adults with developmental disabilities.
