By-Line: Lacy Martin, Chiumento Law
Chiumento Law, PLLC proudly announces that our Partner Vincent Sullivan has been named the recipient of the Kathy Para Outstanding Pro Bono Service Award, presented annually by Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, Inc. (JALA).
This honor marks Sullivan’s first time receiving the Kathy Para Award, which recognizes attorneys who demonstrate exceptional dedication to providing legal services to those unable to afford them. Named after Kathy Para, JALA’s retired director of pro bono services, the award celebrates lawyers whose work has had a lasting impact on the community.
While this is his first Kathy Para Award, Sullivan is no stranger to recognition for his commitment to pro bono work. He has been a multi-year recipient of the prestigious Jay Grife Pro Bono Award, further underscoring his long-standing dedication to advancing equal access to justice.
“Vincent’s commitment to serving those who cannot afford legal representation is a reflection of the values we hold dear at Chiumento Law,” said Michael Chiumento III, Managing Partner. “We are incredibly proud of his dedication to justice, his compassion for clients, and his leadership in inspiring other attorneys to engage in pro bono work.”
Sullivan shared his gratitude for the recognition: “I am deeply honored to receive the Kathy Para Outstanding Pro Bono Service Award,” said Sullivan. “Pro bono work is about more than legal cases it’s about standing up for those who have nowhere else to turn. I am privileged to be able to use my skills to help ensure that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has a fair opportunity to be heard.”
As a Partner at Chiumento Law, Sullivan focuses his practice on Real Estate and Litigation and has consistently devoted his time to helping those facing legal challenges without the means to hire an attorney. His work through JALA and other pro bono initiatives has made a meaningful difference in the lives of many, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to community engagement and access to justice.
Chiumento Law congratulates Vincent Sullivan for this well-deserved recognition and thanks JALA for continuing to highlight the importance of pro bono work in strengthening communities.
