Community Event
June 21, 2025
On Saturday, June 21, 2025, The Klein & Cardali Law Group was invited again by Friends of the Children – New York at their Harlem, New York location for another memorable community gathering. Our many thanks as always to Jimi Orekoya, Friends of The Children – New York Director of Programs for having us back as honored guests for the event!
On May 17th, 2025, The Klein & Cardali Law Group teamed up with Friends of the Children – New York at their Harlem, New York location to partake in an indoor/outdoor health and wellness event, as part of their ongoing mission to professionally mentor the community. The event was open to families of the program and the public alike. Free services included haircuts and styling, medical referrals, games, music, art, face painting, magic, dance, marital arts lessons and more.
All of this would not be made possible without the efforts of The Klein & Cardali Law Group’s very own Candida Torres and Jorge Roman, Esq.
At the firm, Candida is a key part of the Workers’ Compensation team. However, it is outside the office where she truly shines under her better known stylist alias, Viva La Beauty. Candida always brings her bubbly personality and love for her craft to the table. She never fails to put a smile on everyone eager for a fresh new look!
Mr. Roman despite his demanding schedule as an attorney and family man always finds time to give back to the community as well. He has a stellar unmatched ability to answer legal questions and give appropriate advice to each individuals’ need.
We are so grateful to have Candida and Mr. Roman as part of our family at The Klein & Cardali Law Group!
A special thank you goes out to Jimi Orekoya, Friends of The Children – New York Director of Programs, who welcomed us with open arms to this event. We are very excited and ready for future opportunities to team up with Friends of The Children – New York!
