Put Something Back offers a variety of cases and innovative projects involving a wide array of pro bono opportunities: Family Law & GAL Project, Child Advocacy Project, Foster Youth Project, Probate & Guardianship Project, Domestic Violence Project, Consumer Project, Housing Project, Patent Project, Venture Law Project, Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, Self Help Clinics and more.
All attorneys are encouraged to provide a minimum of 20 hours of pro bono service annually or donating $350 to Legal Aid. While providing pro bono is optional, completing the pro bono reporting form is mandatory. If you are presently working on a case, you may simply report your hours to us in order to receive pro bono credit. If you are handling a case on your own, or through another organization, simply let us know to be counted.
As attorneys, we took an Oath and solemnly swore to never reject, from any consideration, the cause of the defenseless or oppressed. In support of that Oath, Florida Bar Rule 4-6.1 encourages attorneys to give back at least 20 hours of pro bono service annually or make a financial contribution of $350 and to report these contributions. “Buy-Ins” to Dade Legal Aid fulfill your Oath and help us continue providing critical legal services to disadvantaged clients.
Individual, 100% Law Firm, CyPres, Corporate and other charitable donations help sustain the critical work of Dade Legal Aid. You and your firm may also designate Dade Legal Aid in your United Way Charitable Giving, through the Dade Legal Aid Fund at the Miami Foundation, and in your Estate Planning.
