“Urban River Arts is a community-based organization in Brooklyn devoted to the artistic, emotional and social development of children and adults. With its strong community ties, Harlowtown has been an invaluable resource, and has assisted us with a variety of legal matters, including issues of corporate governance and intellectual property.”

“Dr Nihar Munshi Eye Foundation is a non-profit trust in Kolkata, specializing in low-cost cataract surgery in villages throughout Eastern India. Harlowtown guided us through a tangle of international law issues and established a US presence. We will now be able to expand our programs thanks to the tax-exempt donations we can accept from American donors.”

“Harlowtown created a lasting impact on my life. A processing error with my financial aid application placed my graduate degree in jeopardy. Harlowtown resolved my predicament so I didn't have to spend half my life paying-off student loans and could instead establish a non-profit organization that supports youth in rural Native communities.”

SOPHIA KIZILBASH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, NATIVE YOUTH LEADERSHIP ALLIANCE

“As General Counsel to CDSC, Harlowtown guided us through one of the most difficult period in our thirty-five year history. While many other minority agencies in New York were forced to close, Harlowtown’s expertise and uncompromising style helped to ensure that CDSC continues to provide services to empower families and help them lead productive lives.”

MARCIA ROWE-RIDDICK, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CHILD DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT CORP.

“I am a single mother who spoke out against discrimination at work, and it cost me my job. Harlowtown stepped in when other high-powered lawyers declined and offered creative solutions outside of the standard legal box. Harlowtown helped me achieve the results I knew I was entitled to and gave me the most valuable gift of all: empowerment.”

“In 2010, I started the Excellence Foundation to provide early literacy and school readiness to vulnerable families with young children. Although we were awarded a grant from the Kellogg Foundation, we needed 501(c)(3) status immediately to receive the funds. Harlowtown managed to get the tax exemption from the IRS within just 20 days.”

ROBIN SMITH, FOUNDER, EXCELLENCE CHARTER SCHOOL OF BEDFORD STUYVESANT

“Whether it was child support, divorce proceedings or all the other challenges that I have faced, Harlowtown has always been there for me. With their help I have become independent and do not rely on my ex-husband for support. I own my own home and a transportation business, which Harlowtown gave me the money to start-up.”
