On Friday, January 20, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Conference and the Consumer Bankruptcy Assistance Program (CBAP) jointly awarded Pepper Hamilton attorney J. Gregg Miller the inaugural David T. Sykes Award.

Mr. Sykes was the head of the bankruptcy practice group at Duane Morris for many years and was one of the founders of CBAP. Mr. Miller has been a long-standing member of CBAP’s Board of Directors and served as president of the board from 2006-2008.

CBAP was created by a group of consumer and business bankruptcy lawyers, members of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Conference, Community Legal Services, Inc. and the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Volunteers for the Indigent Project(VIP) as a Pennsylvania non-profit organization. These attorneys, paralegals, and law students, volunteer to provide direct, pro bono legal representation to the indigent seeking to obtain Bankruptcy Court protection.
