Woodruff Johnson & Evans Sponsored Scholarships for 2021
The personal injury attorneys at Woodruff Johnson & Evans Law Offices have dedicated their lives to helping injured Illinoisans throughout the state. More than this, we strive to give back to our community whenever we can. Our attorneys and staff regularly take part in various charitable events in Aurora, Champaign, Chicago, and the surrounding areas. We also consistently donate our time, money, and efforts to organizations and charities that provide for those in need in our community.
Additionally, as part of our efforts to give back, we are proud to offer a number of scholarships. We strongly believe in the value of a solid education and in helping the next generation obtain this education. In fact, many of our attorneys lead classes, seminars, and make presentations on a variety of topics, including work-related injuries, workers’ compensation law updates, workers’ rights, trial advocacy, and more.
