Norristown's Women's Center of Montco Honors Advocate Of Domestic Violence Victims

NORRISTOWN, PA -- The Women’s Center of Montgomery County and the law firm of Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford, PC are celebrating the legacy and honoring the valuable lifetime contributions of The Honorable Toby Lynn Dickman at an appreciation brunch.

The event will be held Sunday, April 3 at the William Penn Inn in Gwynedd. Individual or table tickets are available, and proceeds will support crucial programs.

The Women’s Center of Montgomery County is a resource for victims of domestic violence and annually serves more than 4700 victims. The center provides a 24-hour hotline, legal and medical advocacy, counseling and community education and outreach.

“Toby was a caring, insightful person and a tireless advocate for children and victims of domestic violence,” said Jay C. Glickman, Esq., partner of Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford, P.C. “She was also a supportive friend to the Center and a devoted civic leader and volunteer.”

Dickman has presided over cases involving domestic disputes with a priority on solutions that would be in the best interest of children in custody cases. She specialized in family law as a partner with Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford in Lansdale before her election.

She also served on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's Domestic Relations Committee and was vice chairman of the Montgomery County Legal Aid Service while practicing law. Dickman was pivotal in the implementation of a program requiring mediation sessions for parties unable to resolve custody disputes.

The center has two additional events to which the public is invited. The center's annual champagne brunch takes place Sunday, May 1, and the 12th annual 5K Run/3K Walk takes place Sunday, July 31. Further information is available through the Women's Center of Montgomery County website.
