Starting the year off with some good news! 📰 🎄 A Heartwarming Success! 🎁 This December, our Tenant Defense Team hosted a toy drive during our court dates at Irondequoit Town Court. Housing insecurity is tough any time, but it’s especially difficult during the holidays. Our dockets in the month of December included roughly 60 households facing eviction. With the support of generous donations from JustCause staff and the Appellate Division 4th Department, we were able to provide toys to children in this situation.💖 Thanks to everyone who helped make this holiday season a little brighter for families in need. There were smiles all around – including from our team! 🌟 #CommunitySupport #TenantDefense #HolidayGiving #MakingADifference

"Here’s to living life like Justin. May his memory and legacy be a blessing, indeed."
The Telesca Center for Justice partners join the Rochester community in mourning the loss and celebrating the legacy of Justin Vidgor – a visionary leader, legal titan, civically minded champion, generous philanthropist, and man who embodied the ideals of justice, compassion, and purpose. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his beloved family (both blood and honorary), numerous friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing Justin. Justin was a beacon of integrity, a voice of reason, and an unwavering advocate for what is right. As a highly respected attorney, he practiced law not just as a profession but as a means of ensuring fairness and dignity for all. His career was marked by an unyielding commitment to excellence and compassion—a rare combination that earned him the respect of his peers and the gratitude of those he served. As a visionary leader, Justin was integral in creating the Telesca Center for Justice, a revolutionary collaborative committed to using the power of the law to stabilize lives. “For us, Justin’s enduring legacy is his unwavering commitment to justice and equality. Justin believed deeply in the power of collaboration and innovation. His role in creating the Telesca Center reflects his belief that we can make the world more equitable if we work together,” said Tina Monshipour Foster, JustCause (formerly VLSP) Executive Director & Telesca Center for Justice Center partner. Beyond his professional and philanthropic regards, Justin was a devoted family man, a loving husband to his wife of more than 70 years, father, grandfather, and friend. His warmth and kindness enriched the lives of those around him. Whether it was his thoughtful advice, genuine smile, or how he celebrated life’s big and small victories, Justin’s presence was a gift to us all. Justin’s legacy will forever inspire us to be better—to laugh and dream, to live fully and with purpose, to connect with intention and compassion, and to seek justice. Here’s to living life like Justin. May his memory and legacy be a blessing, indeed.
