Adriana Gonzalez, Esq., was recently re-elected as an officer of the Palm Beach County Hispanic Bar Association and will serve her second term as Corresponding Secretary. Through her community service with the Palm Beach County Hispanic Bar Association, the Hispanic Education Coalition, the Palm Beach County Coalition for Immigrant Rights, and the CARIDAD Center, Ms. Gonzalez pursues projects and issues important to the Hispanic Community. Most recently, Ms. Gonzalez, along with the Palm Beach County Courts, created a Spanish Language Small Claims Clinic – a program providing Spanish-speaking individuals and businesses an understanding of small claims court and the skills needed to protect their rights in small claims court as either plaintiffs or defendants. This important project is expected to debut at the end of April during the Palm Beach County Bar Association’s Law Week. Adriana Gonzalez is proud of this accomplishment, “I feel it’s my responsibility as a Hispanic attorney to assist the Hispanic community in understanding our legal system. I’m honored to be given the opportunity to create a program that will help Hispanics gain access to our courts. Along with demystifying the legal process, it is our hope that participants will leave the program feeling empowered instead of intimidated.” For more information regarding this new clinic, contact Adriana Gonzalez at (561) 533-0345.
