Attorney David Bernstein [who is co-founder of Lawyers Against Hunger, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation whose mission is to help feed the hungry], Norman firemen, members of our armed forces, and Norman police helped hand out free turkeys to those in need on November 18, 2011.  David Bernstein personally donated $5,000 to purchase turkeys, and a total of over $60,000 was raised by Lawyers Against Hunger to purchase turkeys, which were distributed in David Bernstein’s parking lot as well as locations in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

Free hot dogs from Classic 50s Drive In were given to everyone in Norman during the event, and free beverages were provided as well.  Many people that were provided a turkey due to having tough economic times said this would be their first Thanksgiving turkey meal in a long time.

Below are some of the pictures from the turkey giveaway from the Bernstein Law Firm parking lot:

Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a rigorous, multiphase rating process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.

The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in selecting a lawyer, it limits the lawyer ratings to those who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.

The Super Lawyers selection process involves three basic steps: creation of the candidate pool; evaluation of candidates by the research department; and peer evaluation by practice area.

The final published list represents no more than 5 percent of the lawyers in the state. The lists are published annually in state and regional editions of Super Lawyers magazines and in inserts and special advertising sections in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers. All attorneys selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers, regardless of year, can be found on www.superlawyers.com.

Bernstein Law Firm founder, Attorney David Bernstein has been named a Director of Lawyers Against Hunger, Inc., a newly formed 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation whose mission is to help feed the hungry. Lawyers Against Hunger has partnered with the Cleveland County Bar Association to give free turkeys to the needy on November 18, 2011, beginning at noon. The event will be held on the parking lot of David Bernstein’s law building located in downtown Norman at 104 W. Gray Street.

Mr. Bernstein has challenged Noble McIntyre of Oklahoma City and Hugh Robert of Tulsa to see whether Cleveland County, Oklahoma County or Tulsa County can raise the most money to purchase turkeys to give to the needy for Thanksgiving. This is a great opportunity for everyone to give back to the community. All money raised in Cleveland County will be used in Cleveland County for the turkey give away.

The turkeys will cost $20 each. There may be a turkey shortage this year, so we’re working to order turkeys as soon as possible with a deadline of October 20, 2011.

All donations will be tax-deductible.

The plan is to have the Norman Transcript, the Daily Oklahoman, and different radio stations publicize the event so that as many needy people as possible can get a donated turkey.

Mr. Bernstein plans on having volunteers from the Norman Fire Department and airmen from the US Air Force assist in handing out turkeys from his office’s parking lot.

The Bernstein Law Firm will be donating $5,000.00 to give Cleveland County a jump start.

If you would like to donate to a worthy (and tax-deductible) cause, regardless if you are an attorney (some doctors and businessmen have agreed to donate already), please write a check payable to Lawyers Against Hunger, Inc, and deliver or mail your check to:

Bernstein Law Firm's own Bri interviewed during the annual telethon

In a profile for PKU news, Bri states, “Representing Oklahoma through my position as ‘Champion Child’ has held many amazing opportunities for me to make people more aware of PKU. I have talked to many Representatives and Senators about PKU, as well as meeting President Bush and being included on a national telethon in Orlando, Florida. I have spoken to civic groups, student groups, and businesses, as well as to PKU support groups about what it is like to grow up with PKU.”

Thanks, Bri for your important work and being part of our great team!
