Cole Schotz P.C. was proud to sponsor the NJ LEEP Gala held in my hometown of Jersey City. It was great connecting with fellow Advisory Board members for NJ LEEP as well as my Garden State Bar Association friends— all for the purpose of furthering access to education. The stats speak for themselves — 100% of NJ LEEP students graduate from high school and 99% enroll in college. I am excited to see NJ LEEP continue to increase its impact.
