Charles
(Chuck) George
Winter 2005
Charles George was
selected as
the Cochise County Outstanding
Pro Bono Attorney for
Winter of
2005 by the Volunteer Lawyers
Program (VLP). Pro Bono
awards
are presented to attorneys who
have made an extraordinary
contribution toward making legal services available to low income
residents of
Cochise County.
George has been
incredibly dedicated to the clients of Cochise County, donating
his
time to assist clients with property and contract issues. He also
volunteers
at the Advice Only clinic, which allows clients to meet
one-on-one with an
attorney about any civil legal matter. In
regards to his commitment as a
volunteer, George says he volunteers
because it “helps keep his ego in check”
and he is “humbled and
grateful” to be selected as the Attorney of the Quarter.
George obtained a
Bachelor’s degree in accounting from Northwest Missouri
State
University and his Juris Doctorate from the Whittier Law School in
Los
Angeles. His private practice focuses on criminal, domestic
relations and
contract law. He has previously worked as a Cochise
County Deputy Legal
Defender and a Law Clerk for both the Los
Angeles County Public Defender’s
Office and the Gay and Lesbian
Community Services Center in Los Angeles.
George was
presented with his award in February, and his picture is on display
in the Bisbee Courthouse lobby. The Volunteer Lawyers Program
thanks
Charles George for his generous gift of time, talent, and
energy on behalf of
clients in need.
