Community Service Jacksonville

At Harrell & Harrell, all our attorneys both contribute financially and volunteer their time to the poor and disadvantaged, charities, churches and various professional bar associations.

In the areas of volunteer work and contribution, we annually give time and money to many local organizations that focus on children’s issues, medical services, educational programs and other areas of need. Some of these charities we offer assistance to are:
