Community Relations

As personal injury attorneys, it is our job to help people who have been in any type of accidents, but we also believe it is our personal responsibility to help within our local communities. Just like you, we live here and we want to be a part of building better communities across all of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

At Messa & Associates, P.C., we are proud to take active interest in national, statewide, and local community activities and charitable organizations, particularly for children, victims, disabled, and others less fortunate who need our help.

In keeping with the emphasis on community involvement, our firm’s attorneys actively participate in programs such as Boys and Girls Club and Big Brothers, Big Sisters. Messa & Associates also provides pro bono legal representation through Philadelphia V.I.P. (Volunteers for the Indigent Program), and program for those who need legislative help but cannot pay for legal services.

Every holiday season, we host a toy drive with a branch of Toys for Tots, gathering donations to help give local children a happier holiday.

In addition to our various community service activities, Messa & Associates, P.C., also make donations to a variety of non-profit organizations, including schools, fire companies, local youth sports programs and special events.

Our firm is proud to support the communities we serve through different community sponsorships. If there is an event or sponsorship that you would like to tell us about, please call our law offices at 1-877 MESSALAW or contact Jessica Neff at Jneff@messalaw.com .

We, at Greater Philadelphia Cares, would like to thank Messa & Associates, P.C., for your incredible contribution to the community. Thanks to your firm, 250 families were able to open presents this holiday season. There is no value that can be placed on the elation your generosity brought to these families. We applaud your great deeds!

Thanks again,
Stacy Weeks

On behalf of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for purchasing a toy for PTLA's 8th Annual Toy Drive for St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.

Sincerely,

2010-01-05 New Warnings for a Popular Rub-on Pain Reliever

Voltaren is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, which is typically prescribed for osteoarthritis pain. Many favor Voltaren Gel over pills because it is thought to be less likely to cause stomach irritation and bleeding, and it has been lauded as a safer pain reliever, particularly for elderly patients. …more
