Adam L. Rothenberg, a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer and Partner at the New Jersey personal injury law firm of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., has joined the Board of Trustees for CASA of Union County. As a regional branch of the National Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children Association, CASA of Union County serves over 20 municipalities across the County by protecting the rights and well-being of children from birth until age of 21 who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, and who become part of an impersonal and overburdened legal system.

Advocate volunteers are critical lifelines for children navigating residential facilities and foster homes, and to helping them find a permanent, stable living environment. In addition to completing a rigorous 30-hour curriculum, volunteers must also be sworn in by a family judge and named to a case by court order. They spend a great deal of time with children, and maintain connections with therapists, doctors, and foster parents in order to identify a child's unique needs and protect their best interests.

As a member of CASA of Union County's Board of Trustees, Adam will leverage his legal experience and passion for helping others to build upon the organization's efforts. In the current year, CASA of Union County has already served over 260 children with the services of more than 150 volunteers donating nearly 14,000 hours of their time. Adam's commitment to making a difference in the lives of others is aligned with CASA's mission, as well as his work representing injured victims and families who come to Levinson Axelrod, P.A. during their times of need.
