ATJ Pro Bono Champions
Many Texas lawyers go above and beyond to ensure that all Texans have
access to our system of justice. Some contribute hours, some contribute
time, but all contribute leadership and commitment to the idea that justice
for all must be a reality in our democracy. "Pro Bono Champions" recognizes
some of those people and their contributions. We hope this information inspires
as well as educates. For information about the Texas Access to Justice Commission,

What was your first pro bono experience?
Out of law school, I went into the Air Force as a JAG officer.
Although it was not strictly pro bono, it was full-time public service.
When I got out of the Air Force, I returned to Texas, where I served as
staff counsel for the Judicial Affairs Committee, another public service-type
job. Even though I now work in the private sector, I have carried a pro
bono docket for as long as I can remember. I concentrate my pro bono work
on family law because it is the area of greatest need. Read
