Jena Hudson and other Bay Area Legal Leadership Selected as 2020 "Florida Legal Elite"

Jena Hudson, Pro Bono Manager for Bay Area Legal's Volunteer Lawyers Program, has once again been selected among Florida Trend's "Florida Legal Elite" for the 2020 listings!

The list of attorneys is selected by in-state Florida Bar members who vote for attorneys "whom they highly regard or would recommend to others."

This is Jena's eighth year listed as one of Florida Trend's "Florida Legal Elite." As our Pro Bono Manager, Jena works with hundreds of volunteer attorneys each year to match them with cases of those in need, providing life-changing results.

The [VLP] staff of Bay Area Legal Services make the process easy and are always so appreciative of the help. This makes it even more rewarding”
