Partner Julie H. Littky-Rubin was featured in the Palm Beach County Bar Associations' Bulletin this month.
"As a product of Palm Beach County public schools, and a huge believer that public education is society's great equalizer, Julie began volunteering as a mentor and debate judge in the schools, even before she had children. When her now college age-children were little, she combined her passion for public education with her desire to be involved with them, even as a full-time working mom. At one point she even served as the co-president of the Timber Trace Elementary School PTA." - Nichole Segal, Palm Beach County Bar Association
