Wofford Burt Attorneys have experienced joy in this season through giving back to the Charlotte community safely and creatively.
Laura Burt assisted local nonprofit Fashion & Compassion to pivot during the pandemic by sparking an idea to provide much-needed masks. As relayed in a recent article:
That’s about the time Beth received a phone call from an F&C supporter, Laura Burt. “Beth, have you thought about making face masks? Everyone is going to need a face mask.”
The first time Laura suggested the idea, Beth didn’t listen. “I was so focused on what how to keep our Artisans and organization solvent, I could not begin to imagine a new product.”
A week later, Laura called again. “Beth, I found a pattern for face masks.”

Wofford Burt attorney Rebecca Wofford was a volunteer judge for the Assistance League of Charlotte’s Teen Court this week. This program provides an alternative criminal justice option to first-time teen offenders. Teen Court met safely — part of the group wore masks and maintained a safe distance while the remaining volunteers attended via zoom.
