Pro Bono
All attorneys at Lewis Kappes are encouraged to provide at least 50 hours of pro bono services per year, but frequently exceed this goal through a variety of projects and services for members of our community. The firm also seeks out projects that have a significant impact on the less fortunate through class action litigation, civil rights claims, and servicing amicus in appellate proceedings.
