Court recognizes pro bono volunteers

Local lawyers were recently honored for their pro bono work at a reception given by the Oakland County Circuit and Probate Courts on Wednesday, Oct. 19, in the Oakland County Courthouse second floor Judicial Conference Room. 

The reception celebrated pro bono lawyers and the difference they made in the Oakland County community, to its justice system, and to the clients they served.

 Each year in Oakland County, pro bono lawyers offer free legal assistance and financial contributions on cases where the individual has no money to retain a lawyer or on those causes considered for the public good.

The Circuit and Probate Courts applaud the efforts of those lawyers who provided free legal services to help low income people gain access to justice. 

“My colleagues and I recognize the efforts and dedication of these attorneys, who donate hour after hour of their time to helping those in need of legal assistance,” said Chief Judge Nanci Grant.  “Their pro bono work not only helps the less fortunate, but gives back to the community in a significant and meaningful way.”
