The American Bar Association General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Division has chosen six recipients of its 2007 Difference Makers Awards. This award is given each year by the ABA Small Firm/General Practice Division to recognize individuals who have made an outstanding commitment to legal services for the poor and disadvantaged.  In a crowded field, MCAP Administrative Director, Mary C. Pugh, Esquire and Project Director, Wendy Demchick-Alloy, Esquire each received a 2007 Difference Makers Award for their work at MCAP.
