Community Involvement by Gallardo Law Firm
Gallardo Law Firm takes seriously its commitment to give back to the community it serves. Through partnering with non-profit organizations, we help deserving individuals and communities in Miami receive the hands-on assistance they need. Our goal is to join forces with philanthropic groups that work on improving the lives of the less fortunate. We take an active role in community issues through our legal services, pro-bono practices, and other future projects that will help us expand our horizons and continue having a positive impact on the world.
Partners with The de Moya Foundation
Gallardo Lawyers is proud to be a partner with The de Moya Foundation, a charitable organization that provides employment opportunities for young adults with unique skills who have disabilities, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Intellectual Disability, and Cerebral Palsy.
About the Foundation
The de Moya Foundation builds long-term partnerships with employers and provides support to employees through:
- Employment Initiative Project
- Employment Support Fund
- Power-up for Jobs
The Goal
Many young people with disabilities who possess extraordinary skills in areas such as sciences, education, arts, business, and athletics are currently either unemployed or underpaid. Unfortunately, they are denied the opportunity to enter the workforce and grow their talent.
With the purpose of transforming that reality we have partnered with The de Moya Foundation to continue Bridging Dreams to Reality by employing young adults with unique abilities at our firm. We want to offer them the hope, the confidence, and the independence they need to integrate into the community and succeed as professionals.
Helping Young Adults Reach Their Full Potential
Our partnership with The de Moya Foundation helps young adults with unique abilities by:
- Introducing them into a professional work environment
- Helping them become self-sufficient
- Instilling confidence and independence
- Teaching the importance of self-worth
Pro Bono Practice
Humanitarian visas are highly complex legal processes that require the assistance of experienced attorneys. That is why we take pride in being part of the journey of more than 10 families who have recently come to the United States through this pathway.
One of the cases that bring us the greatest satisfaction is that of the Cuban child Damir Ortiz, who, with our free assistance in processing his humanitarian visa, was able to be transported by air ambulance to Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami for medical care. Damir suffers from acute leukemia and Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (a genetic disease that causes tumors in different parts of the body).
Our Pro-Bono effort also extends to the free legal defense of several cases of political asylum and family reunification. We believe that the practice of law should not only focus on profit but also on social responsibility and our commitment to justice.
Community Events
Gallardo Law Firm has organized free orientation events for the local population to address their concerns about various legal issues, particularly those related to immigration. In March 2023, when we opened our office in Hialeah, we invited local residents to one of these massive events.
Scholarship Sponsorship
The growth of young professionals, especially those of Hispanic descent, is a key motivation for us. In the past, we have collaborated with educational institutions to sponsor scholarships that help underprivileged students access the countless opportunities a quality higher education offers.
