Circuit Court Judge Michael E. Spitzer of Hohenwald was presented with the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program (TLAP) Volunteer of the Year Award at TLAP’s Annual Camp TLAP, held March 25 at Montgomery Bell State Park near Dickson. Spitzer currently serves as chair of the TLAP Commission. According to the organization, his leadership over several years has been instrumental in supporting TLAP’s “gold standard” programming and monitoring support that rendered an 85% no-relapse rate in addiction cases last year. Camp TLAP included presentations by nationally recognized addiction doctors and leaders in the realm of supporting the recovery of licensed professionals and monitoring fitness to practice, all of whom joined the TLAP community in honoring Spitzer.
