Wiggam Law Gives Back
All through 2019, Wiggam Law is donating $1,000.00 per month to a charitable organization selected by the employees of the firm. For September, Senior Attorney Judson Mallory chose Georgia Lawyers for the Arts.
Georgia Lawyers for the Arts is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing legal assistance and education for artists and art organizations in Georgia. Judson chose this organization because he comes from a large family of musicians and artists and has witnessed firsthand how difficult it can be for new artists to preserve and protect their work and navigate the industry. Georgia Lawyers for the Arts provide pro bono legal services and educational seminars for artists who would not otherwise be able to get the legal assistance they need.
