Grief-stricken colleagues of Theresa Gorski, a 47-year-old Legal Aid Society attorney who devoted the last decade of her career to advocating for children, met with counselors yesterday in the aftermath of what was described as a domestic violence-related death.
“She was a hard worker who cared about children and every day made a difference in their lives through her passionate advocacy,” said Steven Banks, attorney-in-chief of Legal Aid. “She was a passionate advocate for the children that she represented over the course of 11 years at The Legal Aid Society. She was a beloved colleague of staff in our Bronx Juvenile Rights Office and she will be sorely missed by the entire juvenile rights staff and Legal Aid Society across the city.”
