Whitley Law Firm Initiates Community Cares Program with WRAL

The Whitley Law Firm is committed to giving back to our community. In partnership with WRAL, Whitley Law Firm will be donating $2,000 each month to a local charity. These donations greatly help our local community with needs from housing, food security, education, and more.

“Part of our Mission Statement for the Whitley Law Firm is to serve our community,” said attorney and partner Ben Whitley. “Since our founding by Bob Whitley, we have all been taught here to give back to the community that we live and work in. We partnered with WRAL to find a way to amplify our call to service and bring awareness to some charities that get less publicity and to those larger ones that folks can be reminded of.”

Check back throughout the year to see additional charities we are donating to.
