Cappello & Noël, LLP Pledges $50,000 to Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County

Cappello & Noël, LLP made a five-year financial commitment to support the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County. The Santa Barbara-based law firm announced it would donate $10,000 a year for five years to the non-profit organization, which provides free legal services those in need.

A. Barry Cappello, managing partner of Cappello & Noël, LLP, challenged an audience of more than 150 people last Thursday at Fess Parker’s Doubletree Hotel to invest in the stability of the Legal Aid Foundation. “The Legal Aid Foundation plays a critical role in Santa Barbara County,” said Cappello, “Those of us in the legal community should do everything we can to support the Legal Aid’s efforts to help the less fortunate receive legal representation.”

“The need for assistance is growing as economic conditions force families and individuals into legal situations they never could have imagined,” says Leila J. Noël, partner at Cappello & Noël. “Our firm is a strong believer in the foundation’s good work and its steadfast commitment to giving equal legal access to all.”
