Representing the Injured – Fighting on Your Team!

See how we can help

At the BiState Law Center we are purpose driven – our mission is to make our community a better, safer place. We do that every day by using the law to fight for what’s right. However, our commitment to the community does not stop when we leave the office. We are proud to support and participate with a number of charities in the St. Louis area that share our values. These are fantastic organizations that we are individually involved with, and we urge you to learn more about them.

The Special Needs Soccer Association (SPENSA) is a non-profit 501(c)3 company that brings soccer to young people with disabilities to help build confidence, increase social interaction and have fun. The program is open to any boy or girl,ages 5-21, with a disability. It is designed to bring the excitement and fun of playing soccer to players who traditionally have not had a place in the youth soccer system. SPENSA is free of charge to all of these very special children. The program is privately funded through the generous donations of individuals and corporations, as well as many local youth soccer clubs.

BiState Lawyers are proud to volunteer as helpers and coaches at SPENSA events throughout the Spring and Fall. Please click the link below to find out how you can volunteer as well.
