MIAMI, FL – On February 20, as part of the Bilzin Sumberg Cares community involvement initiative, Bilzin Sumberg partnered with Scott Lake Elementary, a Montessori magnet school with a speech and language special education program located in Miami Gardens.

On Saturday morning, Bilzin Sumberg attorneys, staff and families gathered at the school with paintbrushes, gardening tools and smiles for Bilzin Sumberg Cares Project Day.
