Phelps Dunbar’s Tampa office is highly committed to making a positive difference in the community in which we work and live. Our attorneys and professional staff support numerous charitable, civic and community organizations by serving on boards, through contributions, attending and sponsoring charity events and by volunteering to help those in need. Some of the organizations and causes the Tampa office supports are Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay, Bay Area Legal Services, the Lupus Foundation, and United Way of Greater Tampa. Each year during the holiday season, attorneys and staff participate in a toy drive for the Lawyers Autism Awareness Foundation’s (LAAF) Sensory Friendly Santa event.
The firm is also substantially involved in the legal academic community, sponsoring Stetson College of Law Appellate Advocacy competition and through service on the Board of Overseers. In addition, the firm supports local bar associations including the Hillsborough County Bar Association, the George Edgecomb Bar Association and the Hillsborough Association for Women Lawyers.
