Orlando law firm gives away 1,000 free Thanksgiving turkeys
Headline News
Hundreds of hungry families lined up outside the Pendás Law Firm’s Orlando office early Tuesday morning, hoping to receive a free Thanksgiving turkey.
Starting at 8 a.m., attorney Lou Pendás and a group of volunteers began handing out frozen turkeys to the first 1,000 families in line, no questions asked.
Pendás said anyone could come and line up for a free turkey at his office, on East Colonial Drive.
But the giveaway was intended for families in need first and foremost, so organizers said they trusted Central Floridians to abide by the honor system.
The first few people in line showed up outside the law office around 3 a.m. Tuesday, hoping for a free holiday meal during an especially rough year.
It’s the second consecutive year the Pendás Law Firm gave away tons’ worth of turkeys.
Lou Pendás said he originally came up with idea after a number of clients told him they were worried about struggling during the holidays.
The day before the giveaway in Orlando, Pendás and his family handed out another 1,000 frozen birds at his firm’s Tampa office.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
