Earn $500 toward your education by telling your story! Combs Law Group is excited to announce our current scholarship essay contest. See below for scholarship contest terms.
As a criminal defense lawyer, we often stand physically by someone’s side when they feel like the world (or at least the city, state, or federal government) are against them. Though our job is to defend our clients, it’s often not about whether or not we believe they are guilty or deserve punishment. It’s about giving them the protection and due process they are entitled to as someone accused of a crime in the United States.
Often, we also serve as a source of support and human compassion for our clients. We all need that person sometimes, regardless of who we are or what situations we find ourselves in.
Think about a time in your life when someone stood up for or defended you. Is there a go-to person who is always there in your corner? Or was there one particularly difficult situation where someone spoke up on your behalf? Write an essay reflecting on one or more of these questions for a chance to win a scholarship toward your education.
