Capes Sokol Pro-Bono Program

We believe it is a lawyer’s obligation and responsibility to engage in pro bono service.  We encourage all of our lawyers, regardless of workload, to participate in our Pro Bono Program every year and to treat pro bono matters with the same diligence, compassion, and integrity as any other matter for which he or she is responsible.
