Apfelbaum Law’s attorney Sara Davis Named to Board of Directors of Voices for Children of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast.
September 4, 2018, Port St. Lucie, Florida—Apfelbaum Law attorney Sara Davis, who practices civil litigation and family law, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of Voices for Children of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast. She will attend her first Board of Directors meeting on September 17.
Voices for Children of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast supports the 19th Circuit’s Guardian ad Litem Program (GALP), an organization that advocates for abused, abandoned, and neglected children throughout the area. GALP provides advocate volunteers who serve as a voice in and out of court for children to whom the program has been assigned. Children who have a GALP volunteer have been shown to do better in school, find a safe and permanent home more quickly, are less likely to return to foster care, and receive more services to assist them. Voices for Children of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast helps further support the mission of the GALP by assisting the children served by the program with personal, educational, medical, and legal needs.
“I’m honored to join GALP’s Board of Directors,” says Davis. “Through my previous work with GALP, I saw just how much child advocates can help children in our community who are going through a difficult time. I also was able to see how important the work of a supportive non-profit organization was in helping the children served by the program achieve normalcy. Funding provided by Voices for Children allows these children to have things that many of us take for granted, whether it be a gift at the holidays, or a cap and gown to attend high school graduation. By joining the Board of Directors, I hope to help them continue this very important work and help even more children in our community.”
Sara Davis previously worked as an attorney for GALP, after graduating Cum Laude from Florida State University’s College of Law. She was also one of the first employees of the Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel in Martin County, Florida, where she worked primarily in areas of dependency and mental health. At Apfelbaum Law, she works in the areas of business disputes, civil litigation, government consulting, and family law. She is also the current president of the Port St. Lucie Bar Association.
