At Foster Garvey, our commitment to pro bono service is woven into the fabric of who we are.
This report is a testament to the partnerships we have built with nonprofits and legal organizations working towards a common goal: expanding access to justice. It highlights the dedication of our attorneys and staff, who generously donate their time and knowledge to champion those most in need.
We devoted 4,563 hours to pro bono work in 2024, helping communities nationwide seek justice and equity. Behind these hours are numerous stories from people or organizations whose lives were changed for the better. This report illuminates those stories and recognizes the incredible organizations that make this work possible.
We recognize there is still room to develop our program and remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring disadvantaged communities have access to high-quality legal representation. We look forward to continuing to grow our pro bono program in 2025.
Thank you for standing with us in this important work.
With sincere appreciation,
Malcolm Seymour
