Michigan attorneys report 38,000 hours of pro bono service

The State Bar of Michigan recently announced the 2024 A Lawyer Helps Pro Bono Honor Roll.

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. Some attorneys submit their 2023 pro bono service hours for reporting purposes only and are not included in the published Honor Roll.

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.

Applications for the 2025 Pro Bono Honor Roll, recognizing eligible pro bono service hours provided in the 2024 calendar year, will be available in January 2025. Please visit www.alawyerhelps.org for more information about the Honor Roll and to find pro bono opportunities in your area.
