ORLANDO, Fla.; August 1, 2008 — The statewide law firm Broad and Cassel is pleased to announce that Orlando Associate Nicolette Vilmos was re-appointed to the Board of Directors for Harbor House of Central Florida, Orange County Florida’s only state-certified domestic violence facility. In addition, Vilmos will serve her first year on the Board of Directors for the March of Dimes Foundation, a leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and infant health.

Vilmos has extensive litigation experience in the areas of intellectual property and construction law, as well as commercial landlord tenant, banking, bankruptcy, business, and contract disputes.

Established in 1938, the March of Dimes was the first grassroots fund-raiser for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis which President Franklin D.
