Attorney Testimonials

The following are some representative testimonials from Pro Bono Partnership volunteer attorneys.

Margaret Feltz, Corporate, Purdue Pharma L.P.

I have really enjoyed working with the Partnership.  The staff attorneys have a great way of really getting attorneys involved in pro bono work and have provided me with a lot of support in a field with which I had only limited experience.  They also ALWAYS say 'Thank You' which goes a very long way.  Working with the Partnership and their nonprofit clients has been a pleasure.

Melissa Bellavia, Employment, PepsiCo 

When working for a law firm, pro bono work was a large part of my life.  I was concerned when coming in house, that I would not have opportunities to do pro bono work. The Pro Bono Partnership has made it easy to do rewarding pro bono work.  Thank you!

Jennifer Morris Cohen, Employment, Proskauer Rose LLP

The Pro Bono Partnership has provided Proskauer attorneys with interesting and enriching work.  It has been a pleasure working with the Pro Bono Partnership and its client affiliates.

Kim Uva, Corporate, Quest Diagnostics

 It's a terrific organization and one that provides an invaluable service to the community.  

Cynthia Steinmetz, Former Employment Counsel, Toys R Us

One of the most gratifying parts of working with Pro Bono Partnership is the response of the clients.  How often do lawyers get thanked for their work?  In addition, I work with several other organizations and I think the Pro Bono Partnership's staff is extremely organized, prompt in responding, and enthusiastic!

Seth Mandelbaum, McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt, LLP

The Pro Bono Partnership offers a great service for the legal community, and for the community as a whole!

Bing Ticse, General Counsel, the Ticse Group

 My experience has been great in that I was able to give value back to the community.  Thank you.

 

Timothy Donovan, Former Senior Vice President and General Counsel, NEC

When I decided to move on after serving as a Senior Vice President and General Counsel of NEC, I wanted to become more involved with pro bono projects, and I connected with some wonderful people at the Pro Bono Partnership. The Partnership made it easy for me to provide valuable pro bono assistance to nonprofit organizations by offering corporate projects very similar to those I would have managed as general counsel. Yes, they provide malpractice insurance. And, since I am admitted in New York, if I supply advice for a New Jersey or Connecticut nonprofit, I work through a Partnership staff attorney admitted in those states.  Working with the Partnership is a great way to keep sharp, hone your skills, meet some great new people and do some good for organizations that interest you. Take advantage.

Elizabeth Kneisel Krumeich, Corporate, GlobeOp Financial Services LLC

I want to thank the Pro Bono Partnership for giving me the opportunity to work with Interlude, a group providing services to individuals with mental disabilities. Working with Interlude gave me a chance to use my legal skills in a volunteer capacity. I enjoyed the experience of guiding a not-for-profit organization through a change in its legal status. Personally, It was a rewarding experience I will treasure. Each step of the way, I found the Partnership's guidance to be helpful and supportive. You helped set the tone for a positive working relationship with the client. Also, the model forms you supplied made my efforts easier, and your review at each stage helped to move the project to completion.
