Arnall Golden Gregory LLP (AGG), a nationally recognized law firm with offices in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., has deepened its commitment to justice and community-based legal services with a $50,000 contribution to Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation (AVLF) in 2025 — on top of its existing $15,000 annual support. This gift puts AGG among AVLF’s top corporate supporters and reinforces the firm’s dedication to ensuring equal access to justice.
AGG’s leadership comes at a pivotal time, as housing insecurity, intimate partner abuse, and access to justice challenges continue to rise. AVLF’s innovative, community-based approach prevents evictions, protects survivors, and stabilizes families — work that is more essential than ever.
“At AGG, we believe that every person deserves access to justice, regardless of income,” said Sean P. Fogarty, Managing Partner at AGG. “AVLF’s legal representation and wraparound support services are crucial to protecting families, keeping communities intact, and ensuring people have the support they need to move forward. We are proud to stand with them in this mission.”
Through preventative legal advocacy, AVLF intervenes before legal crises escalate, ensuring that tenants facing wrongful evictions and survivors seeking safety have the legal representation they need. The organization’s deeply embedded, community-driven model allows it to address systemic injustices on the ground and at the source — a strategy that has made AVLF a national leader in legal services innovation.
“AGG’s generosity is more than financial support, it’s a call to action,” said Michael Lucas, Executive Director of AVLF. “When law firms invest in access to justice, they help build stronger communities. AGG is setting the standard for how the legal industry can make a lasting impact.”
AGG’s support goes beyond funding. The firm’s attorneys have long been involved in AVLF’s pro bono programs, providing eviction defense, standing up for tenants in unsafe housing conditions, and helping survivors navigate the legal system. This latest commitment strengthens AGG’s role as a champion for access to justice.
As law firms, businesses, and philanthropic leaders consider how they can make a meaningful impact, AGG’s leadership sets a powerful example. By investing in community-based legal services, they are not only helping individuals — they are strengthening the legal system as a whole.
