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