Community Involvement and Giving Back

At Wisselman Harounian Family Law, our commitment to serving families extends far beyond legal representation. For more than five decades, we have proudly supported and partnered with organizations that protect the vulnerable, uplift those in need, and strengthen the social fabric of our community. Giving back isn’t an add‑on — it’s part of who we are. Through service, sponsorship, and leadership, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients and the broader community we are proud to call home. 

Supporting Survivors and Promoting Safety

We have a deep, ongoing commitment to victims of domestic violence and family abuse. Through our involvement with victims services agencies (The Safe Center Long Island, is sadly now closed)  we provide pro bono legal support, volunteer time, and community advocacy to help survivors access protection, safety planning, and the resources they need to rebuild their lives. Our attorneys have been honored with multiple Pro Bono Champion of Justice awards for this work.  Jacqueline Harounian was recognized as a “Humanitarian of the Year” in 2018 by UJA Federation for her working assisting victims of violence.

Fighting Cancer & Advocating for Health

Our firm proudly supports cancer‑related causes and health nonprofits. We are longtime sponsors and advocates for Sunrise Day Camp for Children with Cancer and the Mondays Cancer Care Foundation, organizations dedicated to providing invaluable services to children and adults impacted by serious illness. Our Managing Partner, Jacqueline Harounian, serves on the executive board of Mondays, helping expand access to care and community support.
