William Umansky, Central Florida attorney and founding partner of Umansky Law Firm, recognized the importance of education in breaking the cycle of poverty. While operating a successful law practice focused on giving individuals second chances, he saw children suffering as a result of their parents’ mistakes and subsequent incarceration. He knew their chances of going to college were slim to none.
Wanting to give back to his community, in 2011 Umansky, established the Second Chance of Florida Foundation. He is particularly compelled to help those students who continue doing well in school despite lifes hurdles.
