Community Involvement
Bailey Cavalieri LLC is proud of its
firm culture of actively supporting and participating in the
community in which we work. Our firm as a group and our
attorneys, paralegals, and staff as individuals have significant
involvement in charitable, civic, educational, and pro bono
activities and organizations designed to enrich the lives of others
in our community. We are honored to serve and give back to
our community.
Charitable Support
As a firm, we annually support The
United Way with virtually 100% firm-wide participation. In
2006, our firm received The United Way's Leadership Giving Award of
Excellence. We also participate as a firm in the
Meals-on-Wheels program sponsored by LifeCare Alliance, through
which we deliver meals to the elderly and disabled, and in the
Operation Feed campaign sponsored by The MidOhio Foodbank, through
which we raise funds and canned goods to help stock the shelves of
local food pantries. Our firm's Holiday Giving Projects vary
from year to year and have included "adopting" a family in need,
donating clothing and blankets to various charitable organizations
for distribution to those in need, and food drives for local food
pantries.
Our attorneys, paralegals, and staff also devote their time and
resources to many organizations that serve our community, including
among others Big Brothers Big Sisters, Metro Parks, Buckeye Boys
Ranch, YMCA, YWCA, American Red Cross, Columbus Zoo, Salvation
Army, WOSU, and various food pantries.
Many of our attorneys, paralegals, and staff are also involved in
organizations designed to raise funds for and awareness of
important health issues. We participate in the Race for the
Cure, Lee National Denim Day, the Multiple Sclerosis Walk, and the
Muscular Dystrophy Lockup. We have raised funds for the March
of Dimes, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer
Association, and the Arthritis Foundation.

Pro Bono Services
Our attorneys devote many hours each year
to providing pro bono legal services to those in need through
participation in the Legal Aid Society of Columbus and the Ohio
State Legal Services Association. Our pro bono efforts
include the Low Income Taxpayer Initiative, through which we assist
low-income taxpayers in resolving IRS claims; the Low Income
Tenants Advocacy Project, through which we represent tenants who
are being evicted; and the InterFaith Legal Clinic, through which
we counsel low income families.
Our attorneys also support educational opportunities for students
by serving as "judges" at mock oral arguments held by local law
schools and by participating in educational outreach programs
through local and state bar associations.
As we give back to our community, we feel a strong sense of pride
in the contributions we make and the lives we enrich through our
firm-wide and individual efforts.
