Norwalk attorney Donald Papcsy and his firm recently settled three cases totaling about $2 million, and there was no question where a portion of that money was going.

Papcsy, a senior partner at Papcsy Janosov Roche Trial Lawyers, said he was moved by people from all walks of life banding together in this country in recent months to support the fight for social equality. That, he said, was the impetus for his firm donating more than $20,000 in total from the net proceeds of those three settlements to two Connecticut nonprofits.
