The Massachusetts Bar Association hosted its second Marathon
Bombing Dial-A-Lawyer on Wednesday, May 30, offering marathon
victims an opportunity to speak to volunteer attorneys from 5:30 to
7:30 p.m.
"The horrible series of events has had an impact on many," said
MBA Secretary Martha Rush O'Mara. "One way to assist victims is by
offering my time and legal expertise. Sometimes time is just as
valuable as a monetary contribution."
The MBA is also helping victims with ongoing legal matters. A
group of 80-plus lawyers have volunteered to take on cases pro
bono. The MBA is matching up attorneys with victims. If you're

"As a lawyer in Boston, I felt that sharing my legal knowledge and
assistance was something useful I could do professionally for those
people injured at the marathon," said Thomas J. Barbar, the chair
of the MBA's Law Practice Management Section. "I couldn't think of
a better way to do so than through an organized professional
association with experience in these matters, such as the
Massachusetts Bar Association."
