Simmons Law Firm Supports Delaware Legal Services Charity The Simmons firm has donated $40,000 to the Delaware Combined Campaign for Justice 2009. Its annual donations to the charity help fulfill the organization's mission to increase the availability of civil legal services to people of low income. East Alton, IL (PRWEB) November 3, 2009 Providing free services to low-income households is a critical component to improving the lives of residents living in Delaware, and the legal community continues to rally to the cause. The Simmons law firm recently made a contribution to the Delaware Combined Campaign for Justice. In line with the charity's mission to turn "adversity into opportunity," the Simmons firm hopes its donations give more Delawareans the opportunity to find resources that meet their most basic needs: keeping families in their homes, putting food on children's tables, securing the safety of abuse victims, and ensuring access to justice for the most downtrodden. In 2008, the Combined Campaign for Justice provided legal services to 13,920 Delawareans and their families. For its ten years of existence, the Combined Campaign for Justice (along with Delaware) has lead the nation in per capita giving by attorneys and law firms to statewide legal services campaigns. "The Combined Campaign for Justice has a track record for making a meaningful impact in the lives of families," said Michael Angelides, Managing Partner of the Simmons firm. "As a law firm committed to fighting for families who need it most, we are proud to help residents of the State of Delaware with our annual contribution, and to be associated with a campaign that's committed to families in need." The Simmons firm also is a leading national advocate in raising public awareness and funds for research to find better care, and ultimately, a cure for mesothelioma. The firm has pledged more than $20 million to charitable causes, including $15 million to cancer research, $10 million of which helped build the SimmonsCooper Cancer Institute at Southern Illinois University in Springfield.
