Our pro bono program is driven by our passion to address the unprecedented need for competent and effective representation of the indigent and the vulnerable. We encourage our attorneys to choose work that resonates with their commitment to assist underserved people and to nonprofit agencies, and also helps advance our attorneys' professional skills. Although we dedicate thousands of hours each year to our pro bono practice, we believe the success of our efforts is measured by the results we help our clients achieve rather than the number of hours we volunteer. We help a cross section of clients facing life-changing issues and challenges. Our firm serves people, businesses. and nonprofit organizations. These include veterans, minority-owned startups, first responders, senior citizens, children who are victims of abuse or neglect, unaccompanied minors, and undocumented adults facing deportation, as well as parents and students navigating special education issues in schools. We also partner collaboratively with in-house counsel from corporations such as The Vanguard Group and Delta Air Lines in connection with a variety of initiatives.
Our efforts are organized around several imperatives, including:
Our clients' needs span a wide array of legal issues. We represent the unjustly convicted, asylum seekers fleeing war and oppression; and veterans in benefits appeals, discharge upgrades, and estate planning. Our work with nonprofits and startups ranges from corporate formation and governance to the protection of intellectual property owned by individual licensees and advocacy for civil rights. The common thread through all of our work is our commitment to respond to the needs of our most vulnerable communities.
