Dwyer & Collora, LLP announced the launch of the Dwyer & Collora Foundation, Inc. The foundation is dedicated to insuring that those citizens who are unrepresented are provided with services and counsel within the judicial system. The Foundation is launching with a grant in honor of former Massachusetts Superior Court Judge Thomas E. Dwyer, father of one of the firm's founders, attorney Thomas E. Dwyer, Jr. The Foundation's initial grant, in memory of Judge Dwyer’s half-century commitment to justice for the powerless, was awarded to Community Resources for Justice to support a new initiative that will assist prisoners making the difficult transition back into society.

The grant will form the backbone of a major initiative to involve the private and public sectors in substantially reforming the methods of prisoner re-entry. The goal of the initiative is to decrease recidivism and serve the business community by providing much needed labor in key industries in Massachusetts.
