Grand Rapids Warner Norcross & Judd LLP, with eight offices in Michigan including Lansing, was recognized by the State Bar of Michigan with a 2016 Pro Bono Circle of Excellence award at the leadership level for its pro-bono contributions.
To be recognized at the leadership level, law firms must provide free or reduced-fee representation to low-income individuals or organizations and/or contribute a minimum of $500 per attorney to the State Bar's Access to Justice Fund to assist in providing civil legal services to persons of limited means.
"Pro bono work is an important aspect of our commitment to serving the whole community," said managing partner Douglas A. Dozeman. "Our firm's culture is built on respect, inclusion and teamwork. We are pleased to be recognized for this commitment and our pro-bono work."
Warner Norcross 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. In addition, the firm makes an annual financial contribution to the State Bar's Access to Justice Fund.
