Warner honored by State Bar for its pro bono contributions


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.

Michigan attorneys report 38,000 pro bono hours


 
More than 38,000 pro bono service hours provided by more than 900 Michigan-licensed attorneys are recognized in the 2024 Honor Roll, which reports service hours from the 2023 calendar year.

The honor roll recognizes individual attorneys, law firms, and corporations that support access-to-justice efforts by providing pro bono legal services to low-income individuals and families throughout Michigan.

The Honor Roll highlights law firms and corporations that reported a per-attorney average of 30, 50, or 100+ hours of pro bono legal services as well as firms and corporations that provided at least 100 cumulative hours of services.

Individual attorneys are recognized if they reported 30, 50, or 100+ hours of qualifying pro bono legal services.
