Weinberg Wheeler Hudgins Gunn & Dial attorney Josh Swiger received the distinction of being named the Judge Glenda Hatchett Volunteer of the Year for 2012 for his work with the Georgia Truancy Intervention Project. Each year, one supporter of the Truancy Intervention Project is selected as the Volunteer of the Year for advancing the group's mission statement of providing advocacy and resources for Georgia's children to prevent school failure.
Mr. Swiger has represented more than 40 clients through the Project over the last five years, with the majority not having any further truancy or juvenile court issues. He is a regular at the Court and has shown steadfast commitment to each client. Recently, a Truancy Intervention Project client expressed an interest in becoming an attorney after watching one of Mr. Swiger's courtroom performances.
