St. Jude's Children Research Hospital is a place that brings hope into the lives of people that feel that all is against them. A parents' biggest fear is not being able to help or comfort their child when they are ill. St. Jude's treats children with cancer and catastrophic diseases. They are the most trusted charity in America and the top children's cancer center in the nation. They not only help the child, but also the family.

For the past 10 years Freidin • Dobrinsky has helped raise money for the hospital. Our Office Manager, Mayra N. Saavedra, through the South Florida Trailriders Club (SFTC), has devoted 15 years to helping this project. The Club does a yearly fundraiser by holding a horse trail ride. Maria Delange, the Client Relations Director for Freidin • Dobrinsky has also been involved for the past 4 years, helping with the registration at the event hosted by the SFTC.

The event is a lot of fun for the employees who participate and Freidin • Dobrinsky staff has always been very generous with their personal contributions. It is one of the many ways that Freidin • Dobrinsky keeps involved in helping the community and others!

In addition to being proud of the results we achieve on behalf of our clients in legal matters, we are also extremely proud of our firm's participation in various community activities.

We arranged for the third graders from the Alexander Montessori School to put on a trial and learn about the criminal justice system in a field trip to the courthouse. The children performed the trial of State. v. Gold E. Locks. They also were able to speak with and ask questions of the Honorable Peter Lopez and were then taken to observe a jury being selected in front of the Honorable William Thomas who does an excellent job of explaining the presumption of innocence and the rights afforded to individuals who are accused of a crime.

The spirit of Community involvement and volunteerism is a tradition at FREIDIN · DOBRINSKY. We recognize that part of our role as a good corporate citizen involves helping and supporting the members of the community who need it most.

We have traditionally held a Christmas toy drive, Easter egg hunt, Easter basket giveaway, hired clowns to entertain local children, purchased books for and read stories to local underprivileged children.

Our firm has been recognized for its contribution to the lives and spirit of children and families in our community.

In addition to providing high quality legal representation to individuals and families, FREIDIN · DOBRINSKY makes time and does what it takes to embrace and support the community in which we all live.
