We're proud to see Michael Nestor's impact recognized in Wilmington University's recent story, "A Path Shaped by Advocacy." What began as Mike's commitment to advocate for a child in Delaware's foster care system evolved into a lasting mentorship that helped inspire that young person, Jonathan Taylor, to pursue a legal career of his own. It is a powerful reminder that showing up, listening, and believing in others can change lives.

Office of the Child Advocate of Delaware

Jonathan Taylor knows firsthand the difference an advocate can make. As a child, he was represented by attorney Mike Nestor, who became a mentor and lasting influence in Jonathan’s life.

Today, Jonathan is a first-year student at Wilmington University Farnan School of Law, preparing for a career in law and carrying those experiences with him.

This year, Young Conaway's Summer Interns, Summer Associates, attorneys, and administrative professionals came together to support organizations making a meaningful difference for children and families in our community, including Nemours Children's Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, the Children's Advocacy Center, and the Nemours Clinic.

Thanks to the generosity of our personnel, donation tables quickly filled with toys, books, baby essentials, craft supplies, gift cards, and other much-needed items. During our Summer Service Project, volunteers sorted and packed donations, assembled craft kits, and created heartfelt cards designed to bring encouragement and smiles to children facing difficult circumstances.

These efforts reflect the compassion, teamwork, and community spirit that make our firm’s summer program so special. We are grateful to everyone who contributed their time, creativity, and generosity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families throughout our community.
