Community Involvement

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.

Community Recognition

Our firm takes great pride in being recognized by our community for the work we do on their behalf. Attorney Carmen Gallardo and other members of our legal team have participated in interviews with media outlets such as Telemundo 51 to inform the local public about the legal services we offer and how to access them.
América TeVé honored her as a 'Mega Successful Woman' for her professional excellence. Additionally, the Mayor of Hialeah, Esteban Bovo, awarded her a Certificate of Merit for her leadership and contributions to empowering the community regarding its legal rights and responsibilities.
