In June of this year, Butzel Long received the DMBA's Pro Bono Service Award in recognition of the firm's service to the community and leadership with the DMBA Access to Justice Program legal clinic.
The firm also recently was recognized as the Pro Bono Law Firm of the Year by Legal Aid and Defender Association.
Butzel Long strongly encourages every member of the firm--attorneys, paralegals and staff--to provide pro bono assistance and make a real difference in the communities it serves.
