Pro Bono Opportunities

Pro bono attorneys play a crucial role in increasing access to justice for vulnerable individuals in Florida. By offering their expertise and services without charge, they help bridge the gap for those who cannot afford legal representation, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to navigate the legal system. The Rules Regulating the Florida Bar establish an aspirational goal for lawyers to provide or support pro bono legal services, reflecting the profession's commitment to serving the public good. Through their dedication and generosity, pro bono attorneys make a profound impact on the lives of those in need and strengthen the integrity of our justice system.

Attorneys interested in learning more about volunteering with Florida Legal Services can explore Florida Legal Services' cases awaiting placement list below or contact our Pro Bono Coordinator, Stephanie Storke, at stephanie.storke@floridalegal.org.
