The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland cannot assist its many clients without relying on the great work of its volunteers. Last year, 20% of the people helped by Legal Aid were assisted by a pro bono attorney.
Legal Aid's Volunteer Lawyers Program is proud to announce its 2014 volunteer recognition award winners. These individuals are among the 1500 volunteer attorneys Legal Aid works with each year. They performed exceptional service in the past year for Legal Aid's clients - and for that they deserve recognition.
