Pro Bono and Community Involvement

     If you are a non-profit organization working to preserve the environment, to provide affordable health care, or to preserve and exhibit arts and crafts, we may be able to assist you with pro bono services (no charge for attorney's fees).  Although we are not a large law firm, our firm or our partners have provided pro bono services in the past, as summarized below:
