This month Philadelphia VIP recognizes Miriam N. Jacobson as its Volunteer of the Month for her outstanding volunteer assistance to VIP clients.

Miriam began “volunteering” with VIP as their  part-time Tangled Title Staff Attorney in 2003, putting in many, many more hours than were asked as VIP's in-house homeownership expert, while still maintaining a private practice. When her formal relationship with VIP ended in 2008, Miriam was quick to continue her commitment to VIP and it's clients as a private attorney.

Since VIP’s Philly FReE program began in June of 2008, Miriam has attended 17 conciliation conference sessions and assisted 15 mortgage foreclosure clients. With her extensive knowledge of real estate law, she is particularly well-suited to assist those mortgage foreclosure clients who have ancillary title problems. She has also continued to mentor VIP staff on substantive real estate issues and is a crucial resource when complex homeownership matters arise.

Miriam is also a very active member of the Tangled Title Fund Advisory Committee, reviewing applicants’ cases every month and offering her expertise in tangled title issues to volunteer attorneys. Miriam approaches every matter she handles with great care, deliberation, and patience, giving every client the time and consideration that they deserve.

Because of her dedication to VIP and her immense expertise, innumerable VIP clients’ homes have been saved over the years. For her commitment and dedication to VIP's homeownership and mortgage foreclosure clients, Philadelphia VIP offers it's heartfelt appreciation to Miriam N. Jacobson.
