Abrams Landau's Giving Page

Lisa Campbell visits the Landau Law Shop to retrieve some of our safety coloring books in English & Spanish for a distribution event at the Ashburn Library. The coloring book provides a fun learning experience to teach kids hand signals, how to properly ride bikes, with easy to understand explanations of traffic laws.

What can you do when you cannot do the things you used to do to help others? During the COVID pandemic, Doug Landau routinely gave blood at the Dulles INOVA donation center. Landau is a strong advocate of civic duty, and felt that donating was important to help others. His same passion was shown when he was a volunteer teacher in Civics at Rachel Carson Middle School prior to the pandemic. While he likes all the caps, trinkets, and other swag that’s provided at the blood donation centers, the sense of accomplishment is what makes it meaningful to the "triathlon trial lawyer.” Currently, he is taking a respite from blood donation during the peak of his competitive season between the World Championships and the USAT National Championships at the beginning of August. Lawyer Landau’s donations are set to resume at the beginning of the Fall, just as with the helmet & bicycle safety program, and children's clothing donations. Landau hopes that his endeavors will encourage others to save lives and prevent unnecessary suffering.

Blood donations are a necessity for patients undergoing surgeries and treatment. Blood saves lives, it’s as simple as that. According to the American Red Cross, every two seconds an individual in the United States is in need of a blood transfusion. As seen from the chart below, less than 5% of eligible donors actually donate! Landau aims to inspire others to consider giving, especially since no one has gotten COVID from blood donations! Plus, you can get Twinkies, Ho-hos, Ding Dongs and other treats you may not have had in a long time AND feel good about it!

The 2022 Virginia Trial Lawyers Association ("VTLA") annual convention was held at Lansdowne, Loudoun County, Virginia. Doug Landau has attended this important legal conference nearly every single year since becoming a member of the Virginia Bar in order to learn the latest changes in laws, strategies, and work with other top trial lawyers.

Landau has also previously been an instructor, sponsor and panelist on the continuing legal education (CLE) program at the VTLA annual meetings. At these programs, lawyers can also get “Continuing Legal Education” (“CLE”) credits. CLE is a required obligation that attorneys must take to ensure they are up to date on changes and amendments in the laws. Virginia requires its attorneys to finish 12 CLE credit hours every year, including at least 2 hours in legal Ethics.

Year in and year out, Landau has more CLE hours than is required. In fact he is a "Fellow" in the National College of Advocacy because he has so many CLE credits! He also earned extra credits for teaching on national and state trial lawyer programs. Prior to the pandemic, Landau was also a volunteer instructor, teaching Constitutional Law & Civics at the Rachel Carson Middle School. He is passionate about teaching the law, helping others to understand how our system works, and can be improved.

Distributing bicycle helmets, safety booklets and bicycles in order to prevent traumatic brain injury during COVID has been a challenge. However, the law firm of ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd. in Herndon, and Maverick Bicycles in Leesburg, managed to visit EVERY single Title I school in Loudoun County. A dinner was held honoring them hosted by the Loudoun School-Business Partnership. Since Doug Landau was out of state competing in the US Triathlon World Championship Qualifying events in Texas that week, he was unable to attend. However, Grant Schafer delivered a plaque to the Landau Law Shop to show the Schools' and Loudoun County's gratitude.

Here at ABRAMS LANDAU, our "Lids for Kids" program partners with local police, boy scout and girl scout troops, and public schools. We educate children as to bicycle safety, and give out brand new bike helmets, bags, t-shirts, bike safety coloring books (in English AND Spanish). The bicycles distributed free of charge, are refurbished by Maverick, and often have disc brakes, gears, and are sized to each child. In addition, groceries, safety lights, food certificates, and other items of need. The staff at ABRAMS LANDAU attended distribution events and were able to teach the elementary students how to shift gears, signal, use handbrakes, and other bike safety elements.

While Doug Landau liked speaking to, and interacting with, the large groups of fifth and sixth graders that would attend at Herndon area and Loudoun County Public Schools prior to COVID, he believes the small events in 2021 and 2022 were much better than the "drive through" one-and-done's that became the new normal during the height of the pandemic. Groups of 12-24 students came with parents and adult caregivers for an interactive bike safety discussion to the Loudoun County Public School events at Fredrick Douglass Elementary, Cool Springs Elementary, and Madison's Trust Elementary

Currently, ABRAMS LANDAU has a number of helmets in the conference room for the next school year, in order to protect children from unnecessary skull fracture and brain injury. The helmets given out are from the Bell Company, and are guaranteed until each student turns 18. If a student is in an accident and cracks the helmet, or there is some issue with the helmet, it is replaced by Lawyer Landau from the Law Shop's stockpile, no questions asked.
