Matthews & Matthews, LLP believes pro bono legal service is an essential element of every attorney’s professional responsibility. Because the legal problems of the poor often involve areas of basic need, their inability to obtain legal services can have dire consequences. The firm believes attorneys possess unique skills and abilities to serve the disadvantaged, promote the public interest and improve the access to justice. The firm’s support of public interest legal service is based on the obligation of lawyers to contribute to the welfare of the community, represent unpopular causes and those without a voice when necessary to promote justice, and protect the rights of the disadvantaged and disenfranchised. This is a firm-wide commitment.
Matthews & Matthews, LLP is committed to supporting our community through the provision of pro bono legal services, offered at no cost to individuals of limited means and to organizations serving charitable, civic, and public interests.
While the firm remains dedicated to these efforts, pro bono engagements are accepted on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the nature of the matter, the firm’s capacity, and the potential impact of the representation.
Pro bono services may be considered where the payment of standard legal fees would significantly impair an individual’s or organization’s ability to pursue or defend a matter, or where representation would meaningfully advance the interests of justice or the community.
Individuals seeking consideration for pro bono assistance are encouraged to contact our office for further information.
