Augusta, GA – The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) “Visionaries of the Year” campaign recently concluded in Augusta, a remarkable ten-week fundraising initiative that truly showcased the power of community dedication. From March 6th through May 16th, local community leaders stepped forward as “Visionaries,” taking on the challenge of raising critical funds to combat blood cancers and support patients.
They made everything easy for me! Even when I lost faith in the car accident where a drunk driver hit me, they helped me through every process. They were quick as they could be and made everything easier for me while being in the process of my move to Japan for the Navy, full time student, and planning my own wedding. I appreciated the help. Thank you!”

I had the pleasure of allowing Mr. Leland Malchow to represent my case and I would recommend 10star rating if possible. Not only was Mr. Leland very professional and knowledgeable, he also took the time to listen to my frustrations about my situation. He offered a listening ear, as well as some kind motivational advice. Our relationship has been through business only but I would extend a hand to him and the law firm from here on out. Thank you all and God Bless."
