Pro Bono

The firm believes that every attorney has a professional responsibility to handle pro bono matters, and we strive to create and sustain an environment that encourages pro bono service in each of our practice areas. Our partners, associates and summer associates are committed to sharing their knowledge and time with organizations that represent the elderly, the indigent and the disenfranchised.

Attorneys at the firm handle pro bono matters for organizations such as Human Rights First, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, the Federal District Court's Civil Indigent and Criminal Justice Panels, Legal Services for the Elderly in Queens, Partners in Health, Appleseed Foundation, Lawyers Alliance for New York and Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. Our attorneys have assumed leadership roles in legal aid organizations and have received awards for their pro bono service.

The firm does not distinguish in any respect between pro bono cases and other firm matters, and our attorneys have handled many significant matters for pro bono clients.
