Social Responsibility
Although we are extremely proud of our reputation for providing top-notch legal advice – we are equally proud of our reputation for social responsibility and for giving back to the communities we serve. At Feldman, Kleidman, Collins & Sappe, we have a long-standing track record of supporting a wide variety of local events, charities and organizations that we feel reflect the values of our firm. We do much more than just provide financial support… the attorneys in our firm regularly donate their time, resources and effort to various community causes and take leadership roles in important community activities.
30 Acts of Kindness in the Local Community
In February of 2016, Feldman, Kleidman, Collins & Sappe LLP celebrated its 30-year anniversary. We decided to commemorate this milestone through a year-long series of philanthropic donations we called “30 Acts of Kindness in the Local Community.” Over the course of 12 months, Feldman, Kleidman, Collins & Sappe LLP made donations to nonprofit organizations that we admire or those that held meaning to our firm’s partners and employees. These donations were made in addition to the nonprofits the firm regularly supports each year, including local athletic teams and other worthy causes in the community.
Expressing our gratitude over the past year through philanthropic efforts was the perfect way to pay tribute to our 30 years of success and to leave a lasting mark in the Hudson Valley. We are proud to support these worthy causes.
We are proud that our contributions reflect positively not only on our firm and employees, but our clients as well. Some of the leadership roles that our attorneys have taken are as follows:
