- Trial Lawyers
aid families facing serious illness and disabilities
- In
their pursuit of corporate profits, special interest
groups--insurers and corporate lobbyists like the Chamber of
Commerce--are adept at bashing "greedy trial lawyers"
through dramatic cries for "tort reform." But actions
speak louder than words. Personal injury attorney Doug Schroeder
lauds the charitable outreach of his fellow trial lawyers through
the sustained efforts of the Orange
County Trial Lawyers Association. Each November, OCTLA holds a
charity auction to raise funds for worthwhile groups helping people
meet daunting challenges. Knots-of-Love,
a public charity that provides knitted caps to patients who have
lost hair through chemotherapy and illness, is the chosen charity
partner for our upcoming Top Gun event November 20, 2010. Charities
we have supported include the Pediatric
Cancer Research Foundation, the Downs
Syndrome Association of Orange County, and the Assistance
League of Laguna Beach. Please consider generously supporting
the valiant work of these esteemed charities.
- Advancement in
Leadership of Consumer Attorneys Organization
- In
January 2010,
Doug Schroeder took the oath of office as First Vice President of
the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association ("OCTLA"),
continuing his advancement up the ladder of the organization's
leadership. The OCTLA's mission is venerable: "helping
attorneys provide their clients the best possible legal
representation." In common with OCTLA's credo, Mr. Schroeder
has helped promote high
standards of ethical conduct and integrity amongst attorneys
throughout his 21-year career, including by teaching and mentoring
