In
the modern legalized world, sometimes people simply need help, advice, or an
education. However, many people often lack the basic means to receive such
guidance. Through their kind deeds, volunteers help these people by devoting
their time and providing their knowledge and expertise to those that
desperately need it. Cathy McKay is one such volunteer.
Apart
from the countless other activities, boards, and volunteer work she
participates in, Cathy is a member of the New Hampshire Woman’s Bar Association
(NHWBA). The NHWBA, in conjunction with the New Hampshire Department of
Corrections, developed and runs the Woman to Woman Project. The Project is
focused on extending the NHWBA’s goal of “[promoting] the advancement and
interests of woman in the legal community through leadership, professional
interaction, education, and exchange of ideas.” (See the recent New Hampshire
Bar News article for more). The goal of the
program is twofold to provide general answers to those with questions in the
family law field, but lack financial support, and to maintain the equality of
services between the men and woman’s prison. Overall, the hope is that these
women can learn from their legal troubles and come away with a better
understanding of the system of laws and regulations that impacts their lives
and their children’s lives.
The
office of Parnell, Michels & McKay would like
to thank Cathy on her selfless service to her profession, New Hampshire, and
its citizens. We here at Parnell, Michels & McKay truly strive to help
those out there in need of guidance by untangling what can be a complicated web
of legalese. We seek to counsel people through life’s difficult moments with
personal empathy and countless years of legal experience. If you are interested
in learning more about Family
Law, or you have another legal matter that needs to be address, please contact us to learn more. If
