Area Lawyers Honored For Public Service
The Massachusetts Bar Association will honor three Central Massachusetts lawyers at its Access to Justice Awards Luncheon next month.
The event is dedicated to the late Nancy King, who was the executive director of South Middlesex Legal Services in Framingham. She will also receive the Lifetime Achievement Award posthumously.
Worcester attorney Thomas A. Manning will receive the Pro Bono Publico Award for his work in private practice and his efforts as an advocate for the poor and homeless. Manning created a "Lawyer for the Day" program in Worcester Probate and Family Court, which provides help for litigants representing themselves.
Faye Rachlin, of the Legal Assistance Corp. of Central Massachusetts in Worcester, will receive the Legal Services Award for her 22 years of work advocating for poor clients, including helping tenants with mental illness and addiction get medical help.
Altogether, the MBA will honor six lawyers from around the state at the March 6 event.
