SAN ANTONIO, Texas – August 7, 2014 – Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA) has honored three San Antonio attorneys for their commitment to providing free legal services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
The attorneys were among a group of one dozen lawyers recognized at TRLA’s 14th Annual Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Cross-Training Conference in San Antonio. The three-day conference brings together legal aid attorneys and staff from Texas domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers to collaborate on best practices to help victims of violence. The attorneys received their awards at the conference’s closing luncheon on August 7th.
“Without these attorneys there are a countless number of victims who would not have received the help they needed to leave their abusers and protect their families,” said TRLA attorney and conference director Maricarmen Garza. “It is impossible to describe the value of their work.”
San Antonio attorneys recognized include:
- Steven J. Medina
- Robyn Katz
- James G. Cramp
Added Garza, “They have saved lives and protected families. On behalf of the people they’ve helped and the children they’ve protected, thank you.”
