Warner Norcross + Judd LLP has again been recognized by the State Bar of Michigan for its pro bono contributions.

The law firm and 18 attorneys were recognized in the 2024 A Lawyer Helps Pro Bono Honor Roll.

The Honor Roll acknowledges both firms and individual attorneys who advance access-to-justice initiatives through pro bono legal services. These services provide direct aid to those in need and support Michigan organizations that assist individuals and families who are low-income.

Warner attorneys provide direct client representation, serve on boards for legal aid programs, engage in community legal education programs and advise nonprofit and low-income public interest groups.

They have been particularly active working with Legal Aid of West Michigan and its expungement initiative, providing pro bono legal services to help qualifying individuals clear their criminal records of old convictions.

Additionally, the firm makes an annual financial contribution to the Access to Justice Fund.
