Ensuring Access to Justice for People Experiencing Poverty
Being sued can be scary. Being sued for a debt you don’t owe can be even scarier (and frustrating). As part of Volunteer Lawyers for Justice’s Debt Relief Legal Program (DRLP), we help community members respond to debt collection actions—especially those when the debt isn’t owed or the creditor hasn’t proved they own the debt—protecting our clients’ rights and economic security.
Because how we do justice matters.
Kicking off the new year in style, Volunteer Lawyers for Justice recognizes Robert Holup as our January 2025 Volunteer of the Month.
An associate at Berkowitz, Lichtstein, Kuritsky, Giasullo & Gross, LLC, Robert practices in the firm’s Litigation and Trusts & Estates groups. His primary focus includes handling contested estate matters and representing fiduciaries. Robert earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Economics and Finance from Florida State University before obtaining his Juris Doctor from George Washington University Law School.
