Community Commitment

JDSA's attorneys are involved in the legal community in which they work and the surrounding community in which they live. JDS&A attorneys volunteer in various business, church and civic activities in Wenatchee, including Rotary, Habitat for Humanity, YMCA, Chelan-Douglas Land Trust, Wenatchee Valley Sports Council and the local Good Grief Center of Wenatchee (an organization providing support to grieving children after loss of a parent or sibling). JDSA attorneys are also involved as coaches of youth sports, including soccer, baseball and hockey teams.

Current shareholders in the firm have served as past Bar Presidents for the Chelan-Douglas County Bar Association and as Committee Members of the Washington State Bar Association, including the Legislative Committee and the Board of Governors.

Numerous JDSA attorneys have won awards. For example, one of our young shareholders received the Chelan-Douglas County Bar Associate Volunteer Legal Services Award, and, in 2001, also received the WSBA Young Lawyer's Division Professionalism award.

JDSA attorneys are also active in the local Law Day — a program that celebrates and promotes public legal education in Washington Schools, while educating students about laws, the legal system, and our rights and responsibilities as citizens.
