Greenbelt, Md.-based law firm Joseph, Greenwald & Laake P.A. (JGL) has created The Thousand Hours Project, an initiative designed to assist local homeowners hit by the exploding foreclosure crisis.
JGL says it will donate 1,000 hours of pro bono legal services to help local homeowners. The firm will team with local counseling agency Housing Initiative Partnership Inc. (HIP). HIP will screen cases and refer them for legal assistance to a team of lawyers at JGL who have been specially trained to assist homeowners facing foreclosure.
‘The size of this project is unprecedented, not only for JGL, but for the state of Maryland as well,’ says Barbara A. Jorgenson, project organizer and JGL partner.
