American Bar Association Jefferson Fordham Advocacy Award
The American Bar Association’s State and Local Government Law Section awards its Jefferson B. Fordham Advocacy Award to outstanding lawyers and law firms that have achieved professional excellence within their area of practice.
In 2002, our Office received the Jefferson B. Fordham Advocacy Award for, among other accomplishments, filing the first lead paint damage case in California and establishing programs to secure special education rights for wards of the juvenile court and an elder abuse team to secure assets of elders who appear financially abused.
