As Human Trafficking Awareness Month comes to a close, Charlotte Pro Bono Triage would like to recognize the following exceptional volunteers: Laura Sammon of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Brandon Remington of Remington & Dixon, Suhanthi Kamesh of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and Lianne Foley of Moore & Van Allen (MVA). These Triage volunteers went above and beyond in 2020 to support trafficking survivors with important needs such as credit restoration, expunctions and names changes – all despite the limitations of a pandemic. Triage co-champions MVA and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. thank these volunteers for their extraordinary commitment to survivors of human trafficking.
Charlotte Pro Bono Triage is a partnership between corporate legal departments and law firms created to support Legal Aid of North Carolina-Charlotte and the Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy.
