Pro Bono

Veterans

We believe that lawyers have a unique opportunity and a duty to enhance access to justice, promote the rule of law, and offer critical legal assistance to the most vulnerable members of society.

Year after year, our lawyers answer this call to service. Over the last decade, we have dedicated over 1.4 million hours valued at more than $1 billion to pro bono work across the United States and around the world. Through this investment of time and energy, our attorneys help individuals across the globe have their most fundamental needs met:  helping a family keep their home, working with a young mother to get a restraining order against an abusive spouse, or assisting a veteran in obtaining life-changing benefits. The Firm encourages attorneys to take on pro bono matters and clients that they are personally passionate about.  As with all aspects of working at the Firm, we embrace a “Big Tent” philosophy and approach. We believe that the wide range of views and perspectives of our attorneys has strengthened the Firm and the pro bono practice over the years.  Our attorneys work on matters striving to protect constitutional rights, represent immigrants seeking various forms of humanitarian relief, protect religious liberties, advance racial justice and equity, advocate for veterans, support victims of hate crimes, advocate for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, represent survivors of domestic violence, and advise small businesses and nonprofits.
