Esther Manheimer is sworn in as an Asheville City Council member on December 8, 2009.

Through a program with Junior Achievement of Western North Carolina, Van Winkle attorneys discuss the life of a lawyer with Asheville High School business law students. 

On Friday, March 6, 2009, three attorneys from The Van Winkle Law Firm participated in a phone bank offering free legal information to callers throughout North Carolina. Sponsored by the North Carolina Bar Association via its 4ALL campaign, the Statewide Service Day allowed callers to ask questions about topics ranging from foreclosures to speeding tickets to workers compensation. The Bar Association operated five call centers statewide. Van Winkle attorneys taking calls at the Asheville center were Jeffrey G. Dunlop, Larry S. McDevitt and Anna S. Mills.

The 4ALL campaign serves to make legal services available to all North Carolinians, focusing on those at or below the poverty level. For more information about the 4ALL campaign, visit http://4allnc.ncbar.org/.

Founded in 1907, The Van Winkle Law Firm is one of the oldest practices in North Carolina and is the state’s largest firm west of Charlotte. The firm offers the region an extensive list of practice areas and includes attorneys who represent clients throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
