WASHINGTON, DC - On Friday, June 14, the Fisher House Foundation presented Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP with the Fisher House Patriot Award. Established in 2002, the award recognizes the extraordinary efforts of individuals and organizations supporting the quality of life of military service men, women, and their families.
“We continue to be humbled by the commitment of the Finnegan team to support our nation’s veterans. Their support of Fisher House Foundation has made a profound and lasting impact,” said David Coker, president of the Fisher House Foundation. “Their efforts allow us to help our nation’s wounded warriors, their families, as well as veterans across the country.”
Ronald L. Smith, Finnegan pro bono counsel, said, “This is a great honor. The folks at Fisher House do amazing things for our veterans every day. We are glad to support their mission to ease the burden on our wounded warriors and spur their recovery.”
Finnegan’s extensive Veterans’ Pro Bono Program assists disabled U.S. military veterans. Since July 2008, the program has brought approximately 560 appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and the Federal Circuit. For the past three years, Finnegan attorneys have devoted more than 8,000 pro bono hours per year to matters on behalf of veterans. In 2012, the firm donated $669,000 to veterans’ charities around the United States, including the Fisher House Foundation.

Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room, and an inviting living room. Fisher House Foundation ensures that there is never a lodging fee.
