The legal representative is appointed by the court to investigate and report findings so a decision about the best interests of the person can be made.This work feels like it is the right thing for lawyers to do, Rainey continued. It has been worth it and it is possible to see all cases through to the end. Williams attorneys involved in the Legal Services program work in teams. That makes it possible to be more flexible if a work situation takes a person away from the volunteer project. Williams, as a company, also is benefiting from the volunteering. The legal department always has been collegial, Rainey said. But these cases have led to people talking to each other more often to compare notes and learn from the other’s experiences. This good group has been made better. Hopefully, he continued, other corporate attorneys and law firms will volunteer their services to help make a difference in people’s lives and join the program. Calls for assistance initially must be made by contacting Legal Services of Eastern Oklahoma’s Tulsa Office at 584-3338. They are referred to Karen Langdon for processing and referral. Anyone seeking help through Legal Services cannot contact Williams or Hall Estill directly.
