Atlanta criminal defense lawyer Drew Findling is to give a keynote speech Saturday at an entrepreneurial workshop designed to help former offenders earn a living after prison by starting businesses.

“I am honored to be speaking at this important event Saturday about a cause that is so near and dear to my heart—that of second chances,” said Findling, who is also president of the Washington, D.C.-based National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. The group announced Tuesday that Findling would speak at the event, sponsored by the Brian Hamilton Foundation and Inmates to Entrepreneurs.
