Montana Legal Services Association announces that MLSA attorneys Bob LaRoche and Amy Hall are recipients of the Montana Justice Foundation Champions of Justice Awards.
LaRoche and Hall are among 35 legal professionals chosen this year for their significant contributions to justice in Montana.
LaRoche started with MLSA in 1969, worked briefly for legal aid in Idaho, then came back to MLSA in Billings. Specializing in public benefits, he has dedicated his career to advocating for those who cannot advocate for themselves, assuring fairness in the justice system for the most vulnerable in our society.
Hall began with MLSA in 2002 after 12 years with Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid. Known as a passionate advocate, Hall previously practiced family law and now specializes in housing issues, providing access to the courts for countless Montanans who cannot afford private legal representation.
MLSA congratulates LaRoche and Hall, as well as all of the honorees.
