“We had a visitor at the Hospitality Center, Monica D, asking to speak to ELA’s Executive Director. She excitedly said,
”I won the civil suit! And how do you think I won? Because of you and the Lawyer (Steve Chawaga). Steve is Dynamite. He helps the poor. As long as you’re true and honest, he will get you what you want and need.” ”

“The Pennsylvania Bar Foundation selected Philadelphia lawyer Stephen P. Chawaga,
executive director of Episcopal Legal Aid,
for the 2020 Louis J. Goffman Award. The Goffman Award is named for a late Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA) president and recognizes individuals and organizations committed to outstanding pro bono service.”

“Many people of moderate means who would benefit from meeting with an attorney either can’t afford one or don’t have the time to look for one... Episcopal Legal Aid [is] unique in leveraging church gatherings to reach people where they already are.”
