Description:
Philadelphia Criminal Lawyer Amato Sanita has committed his professional career to defending individuals within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania court system. He prides himself on making sure that each person gets fair and equal treatment under the law, according to the rights set out in the United States Constitution. Part of being a good defense attorney means helping to protect others who are in particularly stressful or difficult situations. Using this legal knowledge to help these people, often minors, is Amato Sanita’s way of building a brighter future that others can enjoy.

Mr. Sanita believes that it is incredibly important to empower others to make the world a better place by helping them to realize their full academic potential. A quality education is the foundation upon which a single person can begin building a brighter future for all people. Whether a person is working to finance an undergraduate degree or find a way to pay for law school, there is great value in enabling those who seek to learn how to improve the world we live in.

We are pleased to announce the second annual Amato Sanita Brighter Future Scholarship, which will provide $500 to a student who exemplifies the pursuit of a better world through education.
