In 2023, Groom attorneys and staff members resumed their efforts to prioritize serving the needs of our community and providing legal assistance to those in need. Our 2023 Pro Bono Update highlights impactful initiatives and cases handled by our attorneys, reflecting our ongoing efforts to make a positive, lasting difference.

Highlights from 2023 include:

  • Community Outreach: Partnering with local organizations to provide legal support and education to underserved communities.
  • Notable Cases: Successfully representing clients in critical matters, including immigration, housing, and civil rights issues.
  • Volunteer Efforts: Encouraging attorneys and staff to dedicate their time and expertise to various pro bono projects, resulting in a significant number of volunteer hours.
  • Awards and Recognition: Celebrating the accolades received by Groom and its attorneys for outstanding pro bono contributions.

Ed Meehan, principal and Pro Bono committee chair, said, “I commend my colleagues for their exceptional efforts, with thousands of pro bono hours performed in 2023 alone. Our Pro Bono Annual Report provides insight into inspiring stories of clients, highlighting a few of the many matters in which we made meaningful contributions and mentioning some of the people here at the firm who made an impact in our community. Pro bono is fundamental to how we recruit and train our lawyers, and it’s a key measure of our professional success.”
