My Nonprofit Reviews

After a long career in a busy commercial law practice, I wanted more time and connection with my young children. I also wanted to direct my skills, talent, and experience to legal work that was very meaningful to me and, I hoped, could help under-served clients and communities.

I was so thrilled to discover Pro Bono Network (PBN) and its exceptional model, leadership, and volunteers. Thanks to PBN, I was finally able to envision a transition away from my commercial practice to interesting public service work that was flexible enough to share space with my family commitments and goals. For me, that was key -- and difficult to find.

PBN recognizes the value of matching attorneys with pro bono legal work in a way that works. As a result, an often untapped pool of legal talent is used in an efficient and productive way, and more people in need of quality pro bono legal help get it. An enormous benefit, all the way around.
