Frankel and Sheldon Recognized in the New York Law Journal for their Work on Behalf of Asthmatic Kids

Having dedicated some three thousand pro bono hours over three years, David S. Frankel, Marjorie Sheldon and Susan D. Hawkins recently won a settlement ensuring that thousands of asthmatic homeless children will be guided to free medical care by New York City officials, reported the New York Law Journal in a recent article. The April 11, 2003 article explains that the team was successful in a federal class action suit, brought on behalf of the Association to Benefit Children against agencies responsible for the city's shelter system, winning an 83-point stipulation that ensures that asthmatic children get comprehensive care mandated by a Medicaid program. Parthena Georgiou and former associate Justine Harris also assisted with this case.
