The firm's commitment to providing a voice for the least powerful is demonstrated by pro bono contributions that range from cases of national importance before the US Supreme Court to litigation on behalf of individuals who lack the means to secure necessities as fundamental as housing, adequate medical care and a safe home environment. Through these efforts, and through community service initiatives that have grown into thriving partnerships, the firm works to enhance the quality of life for many in local neighborhoods and around the globe.
