Pro Bono Legal Service

Our community is very important to us and we strive to help as many members of our community as possible. We understand that not everyone can afford the typical hourly rates that attorneys charge. We therefore work closely with local legal aid organizations to assist members of our community, pro bono. Pro bono means “for the public good” and generally refers to services provided by an attorney voluntarily and without payment. The Florida Bar requests, but does not require, that attorneys provide a minimum of 20 hours of pro bono service a year.

Since 2013, Dave and Jack have received a combined total of 12 awards for their pro bono legal service to the community. In order to receive this recognition, an attorney has to provide over 100 hours of pro bono legal service a year. In dollars, this equates to over $20,000.00 in legal service per attorney, per year. Over the years, Dave and Jack have assisted clients, pro bono, with legal services in areas such as landlord-tenant, foreclosure defense, consumer defense, and fair credit reporting.

If you need the services of an attorney however you do not feel that you can afford to hire an attorney, please contact your local legal aid organization.
