This initiative connects low-income New Yorkers with pro bono counsel to prepare essential end of life documents. Pro bono attorneys interview clients, draft, and finalize documents. Cases take no more than 10 hours of work, and provide clients and their families with crucial legal protections.  

Scope of work for pro bono volunteers includes:

a.      Interview clients, often at an LSNYC office.

b.      Draft documents.

c.       Ensure that documents are finalized and signed by clients.

Law firms, corporations, law firm lawyers, and in-house counsel who are interested in partnering with LSNYC are encouraged to reach out to learn more. Please contact Adam J.
