Within a short 5 months after opening her solo office in Philadelphia, Debra D. Rainey, Esq. was honored by Philadelphia Law Works/Philadelphia VIP with its coveted CHANCELLOR'S AWARD in an Awards Ceremony that was held today in The Ceremonial Courtroom of City Hall. VIP’s 2009 Awards Ceremony honored Outstanding Volunteers in 2008 and even though Ms. Rainey’s Law Office had only been open for 5 months, she found time to give back by providing pro-bono legal services to the clients of VIP.
Philadelphia VIP's mission is to promote equal justice for the poor by providing civil legal services not otherwise available, collaborating with other legal services organizations and promoting a culture of volunteerism by educating and exposing attorneys and law students to issues of poverty.
