With only 13 full time staff attorneys, Montana Legal Services relies on pro bono (free) attorneys to help bridge the gap in access to justice for low income Montanans.
In 2014, over 300 pro bono attorneys assisted MLSA in handling cases, providing a huge service to those Montanans with civil legal needs who could not afford to hire attorneys.
MLSA wishes to thank all pro bono attorneys who make access to justice a reality for thousands of Montanans.
On behalf of MLSA and the thousands of clients who
benefit from pro bono services, thank you to all pro bono
volunteers. You are appreciated not only during Pro Bono
Celebration week, but year-round. You really are making
a positive difference for people in your communities.
— Alison Paul, MLSA Executive Director
