Tim Andryk

This month’s hero is Tim Andryk, a reliable and dedicated volunteer at the background check clinics Legal Action of Wisconsin and Urban League of Greater Madison hold several times a year. Tim volunteers at every clinic, treats clients with dignity and respect, answers client questions thoroughly, and is a great mentor to new volunteer attorneys and law/paralegal students. Thank you, Tim!

Legal Action of Wisconsin’s mission is to deliver exceptional civil legal services and structural change advocacy, free of cost, to those most in need. Legal Action of Wisconsin’s structural change litigation and advocacy has led to a number of legal milestones, including eliminating racial and gender discrimination in Milwaukee Fire and Police departments, marriage equality, and the right to correct misinformation on criminal records.

The Backyard Hero Awards are sponsored by 105.5 Triple M, Isthmus, and Budget Signs.
