Georgia Legal Services Attorney Wendy Glasbrenner was honored recently before 650 attorneys with the Family Law Institute’s Joseph P. Tuggle award, recognizing her "outstanding skills and contribution to family law." Glasbrenner has been managing attorney in Georgia Legal Services’ Gainesville office since 1999.
An attorney with Georgia Legal Services for over 35 years, Glasbrenner, according to a news release from the organization, has been a leading advocate for low-income individuals in the Gainesville region. It goes on to say she regularly speaks out on issues that affect marginalized communities: fighting for the availability of affordable housing, access to critical financial support such as food stamps and health care, and access to justice for non-native English speakers.
Glasbrenner has long made it a priority to help people in abusive relationships and their families find safety and security, according to Georgia Legal Services.
She founded Rape Response, Inc., in 1987 and served as a board member of the organization for over twenty years thereafter; was on the Board of Directors for Circle of Hope and Gateway House, two shelters for battered women; chaired the Women’s Giving Circle of North Georgia; and currently serves on the Hall County Commission on Children and Families.
