Access to Bankruptcy Court (ABC), a State Bar of Michigan “Access to Justice” program, conducted its Annual Charity Silent Auction and Networking Event on Oct. 8 at the law offices of Stevenson & Bullock in Southfield. Among those helping to raise funds were (left to right) Ethan Dunn, Andrea Cartwright, David Tovarez, Janet Ziulkowski, Alesia Dobbins, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Marci McIvor, Anthony Kochis, Tracy Clark, Jim Plemmons, Barry Lefkowitz, Michael Stevenson and Judy Calton. ABC was formed after local attorneys, judges and educators recognized a need for poverty-stricken individuals suffering financial hardship to have essential legal representation. “One of the premises of this charity is to help prevent these individuals from becoming preyed on by unethical bankruptcy petition preparers and to help them get the fresh start that they need,” noted Janet Ziulkowski of Ziulkowski & Associates PLC.
