🎉Congratulations to 2026's Outstanding Children's Law Office: KidsVoice – Pittsburgh, PA (Scott Hollander, JD, Executive Director)!🎉

25 years ago, KidsVoice was a local children’s law office in Pittsburgh with a staff of 10 and a budget of $500,000. Attorneys had enormous caseloads, and clients did not receive help with many of the legal needs that affected their lives. Thanks to the leadership of Scott Hollander and his dedicated team, KidsVoice has grown to a staff of more than 70, pioneered a multidisciplinary model of representation, and has become an influential organization not just in Pennsylvania, but nationally.

Please join us in congratulating @kidsvoice.pa on this much deserved achievement!
