Please join Volunteer Lawyers for Justice in honoring Denise Panzer of Lowenstein Sandler LLP, the recipient of our 2025 Outstanding Advocate for Justice Award!
For over a decade, Denise has enthusiastically embraced VLJ's mission of ensuring access to justice for people experiencing poverty. As the Pro Bono Administrative Specialist for the Lowenstein Center for the Public Interest, her dedication goes far beyond organizing—she's on the front lines of justice.
Denise's extraordinary impact includes:
•Eviction Defense: Instrumental in the Tenancy Clinic, providing hands-on support to tenants facing housing insecurity.
•Gender Affirming Name Changes: Personally helping dozens of transgender community members navigate the legal process through VLJ’s PRIDE Name Change Program.
•Wider Support: Securing help for clients in bankruptcy and providing crucial administrative assistance to a local domestic violence nonprofit.
Denise is a testament to the compassionate, transformative power pro bono can have. She doesn't just facilitate, she provides the high-level, personal help and caring touch our clients need and deserve.
Congratulations, Denise, and thank you for being an outstanding advocate for justice!
