Patrick Mottola '88 is among a group of attorneys who recently received the Golden Hammer Award for their pro bono work for the Raritan Valley Chapter of Habitat for Humanity (RVHFH) serving Somerset and Hunterdon counties in New Jersey. The Real Estate & Land Use Group of the Somerville, N.J., law firm of Norris McLaughlin & Marcus, P.A., worked to obtain variances and site plan approval for RVHFH's Somerset County Franklin Township project. The project, which includes four homes for low-income families, is the first in a series of projects for which the Real Estate & Land Use Group is offering its services gratis.
"As with all our projects, the Franklin Township development…would not happen if it weren't for dedicated people, companies and organizations who are committed to providing affordable housing for those who otherwise would be stuck in substandard living conditions," stated Pam Ely, executive director of RVHFH.
The attorneys in the Real Estate & Land Use Group have represented a broad range of clients in real estate matters for more than 50 years. Practicing throughout the State of New Jersey and at all levels of government, the firm is the exclusive New Jersey member of Meritas, a worldwide affiliation of independent law firms who meet the highest standards of competency and service across the United States and in 70 countries.
