Schaefer Halleen’s Social Equity Scholarship

Meet Your Benefactors
Lawrence P. Schaefer – Over the course of his long and often ground-breaking career, Larry Schaefer has taken on some of the largest and most powerful companies in the country, helping tens of thousands of people recover damages suffered as a result of illegal corporate conduct. Larry has earned the respect of judges and other lawyers for his thorough and aggressive client advocacy in negotiation and litigation. He focuses exclusively on representing people who have been subject to employment discrimination at work.

Toni L. Halleen practiced employment law for many years, helping companies prevent discrimination and comply with legal requirements to improve the workplace. She is now the co-owner and Chief Operating Officer of Schaefer Halleen, helping to run the firm so that the team of lawyers and staff can effectively advocate for victims in matters of employment discrimination, retaliation, and other employment matters.

Larry and Toni have dedicated their careers to empowering clients and seeking justice in response to illegal workplace conduct, such as discrimination based on race, religion, gender and other areas. They look forward to seeing the next generation of students studying advocacy and anti-discrimination meet future challenges in their own unique ways. By offering a biannual scholarship to students pursuing a career supporting the advancement of justice, Larry and Toni hope to support the leaders of tomorrow.
