Community Involvement at Lusk, Drasites & Tolisano

At Lusk, Drasites & Tolisano, we have strong roots in this area. Since 1982, our firm has grown alongside local families and businesses, and we work every day to honor the trust our neighbors place in us. Community support made our practice possible, so giving back forms a natural part of who we are and how we practice law.

Our attorneys and staff look for steady, practical ways to show up for the people around us. We focus on efforts that support families, education, and long-term legacies, which align with the legal services we offer in areas like estate planning, family law, and personal injury.

Giving Back During the Holiday Season

Each year, our office takes part in holiday drives that help bring a little more comfort and joy to local households. We use our space, our time, and our voice to support these efforts and to invite others to join in.

At Thanksgiving, we organize a food drive at our office. We collect nonperishable items from our team and from community members who want a convenient place to drop off donations. After the drive, we deliver the food to a local organization that distributes it to people who can use the extra support during the holiday season.

When Christmas approaches, we shift our focus to toys and gifts for children. Our office serves as a drop-off point for new, unwrapped toys, and we let clients and neighbors know they are welcome to bring donations by. We then pass those toys along to a local organization that places them with families in time for the holidays.

These drives give our team a hands-on way to contribute. They also create an easy path for clients and other residents who want to give but may not know where to start. By opening our doors as a collection site, we stay connected to the people we serve in a simple, practical way.

Service on Local Boards and Foundations

Our involvement in the community extends beyond seasonal efforts. Members of our firm have served on several local boards, including the Community Foundation Board. That foundation focuses on scholarships and on helping people who want to leave a lasting legacy through charitable gifts.

This kind of board service reflects how we see our role as attorneys. In many of our estate planning matters, clients come to us with questions about how to support future generations, whether through family members, education funds, or charitable giving. Familiarity with the work of a community foundation allows us to better understand the options available when clients wish to include philanthropy as part of their overall plan.

Board service also keeps us close to local priorities. Sitting at the table with other community leaders helps us listen, learn, and stay aware of the ways people in this area strive to support one another. We bring those insights back into our daily work at the firm.

Supporting Legacies Through Legal Work

Many of the same themes that guide our community work show up in our legal practice. When we assist with estate planning, for example, we often talk with clients about what they want their legacy to look like. Some think about providing for children or grandchildren, while others want to support education or local causes that matter to them.

Because our attorneys have experience with organizations that fund scholarships and help donors structure gifts, we understand how these goals can fit into a will, trust, or broader plan. Our community involvement deepens our understanding of the tools available to clients who want their planning to do more than pass down assets. It can help align their legal documents with the future they hope to shape.

How Community Involvement Shapes Our Firm Culture

Our work in the community influences how we treat the people who walk through our doors. When we run food or toy drives, we see daily how small acts can ease stress for a family. When we take part in scholarship and legacy discussions, we see how planning ahead can create stability for the next generation. Those experiences keep us grounded and remind us that every case and every document affects real lives.

Inside the firm, these efforts encourage teamwork and shared purpose. Staff members help organize the drives, spread the word, and coordinate deliveries. Attorneys give time to board service and fundraising events. This shared work outside the office strengthens the way we collaborate on legal matters inside the office.
