Akerman is a sponsor of the Bay Area Legal Services’ (BALS) 50th Anniversary Celebration Dinner, celebrating 50 years of service to the Tampa Bay community. The event will feature Lieutenant General James B. Peake, USA (retired), M.D., of the United States Army, as the keynote speaker. Proceeds raised from this event will fund BALS’ Veterans Legal Initiative Endowment Fund that will enable the organization to provide legal services to more low-income veterans in our community.
