Jeffrey L. Meyers is one of two attorneys who will receive the Honorable Anthony V. DeMayo Pro Bono Award at the CBA’s annual awards ceremony, Celebrate with the Stars, on Wednesday, April 9.
Attorney Meyers is a solo practitioner at the Law Office of Jeffrey L. Meyers in Norwalk handling legal issues involving real estate, personal injury, wills, trusts, and estates. He dedicates time to pro bono work through Connecticut Legal Services and the Connecticut Judicial Branch’s Volunteer Attorney Program, where he provides legal assistance to those in need seeking representation in family law and housing cases.
Before transitioning into the field of law, Attorney Meyers worked as a building contractor and for the General Electric Capital Corporation as a technical writing consultant and pricing analyst in its international finance group. Attorney Meyers earned his law degree from St. John’s Law School, an MBA in finance from Fairfield University, and a B.S. in Chemistry from the State University of New York at Albany.
Over the past year, Attorney Meyers has taken on four pro bono family law cases with Statewide Legal Services, providing over 106 hours of pro bono service. All these cases involved court appearances and several involved negotiations and contested hearings. In these four cases, he showed compassion, commitment, and a notable attention to detail which helped to obtain outstanding results for all the clients he served.
The Honorable Anthony V. DeMayo Pro Bono Award recognizes CBA members who demonstrated dedication to the provision of legal services without expectation of payment to those in need.
