COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

The members of the firm consider it a privilege to practice law in this community. As such, a privilege must be earned. An essential element of the privilege of practicing law is Community Involvement. Homesley & Wingo Law Group PLLC takes seriously its obligation to the community.

Over the years, the firm has participated in a number of community service events and fund raisers. During the Christmas season, the office closes for a few hours while staff and attorneys volunteer at local charities such as Bridge of Hearts, Mooresville Soup Kitchen and The Christian Mission.

Members of the firm have been leaders with Friends of the Library. Fariba Homesley, wife of Cliff Homesley, served as the chairperson of this group which is "dedicated to the expansion of a downtown library, accessible to children and adults of all walks of life." Fariba was instrumental in convincing Lowe's Companies to contribute $2,000,000 towards the expansion of the Mooresville Public Library. The expansion to a 34,000 square foot state of the art facility wasd completed in 2005. Friends of the Library also raised an additional $50,000 in its efforts to prompt the expansion of the downtown library. Senior Associate Victoria Boone currently serves on the board of directors for Friends of the Library.

The firm has contributed to events as diverse as a biathlon in support of greenways in Mooresville, Historic Mooresville 5k, Mooresville Christian Mission Turkey Trot, Mooresville Rotary Fondo race, DARE, Hope at the Point, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Martin Truex Catwalk for a Cause, Mooresville Artists Guild and the Mooresville-South Iredell NAACP.

The firm has provided pro bono services in assisting citizens in a variety of areas as those citizens fight battles for justice in the face of powerful forces, particularly government. Client confidentiality prevents the disclosure of the specifics of these matters.
