Our pro bono work

We successfully represented a prisoner who was housed in administrative segregation and kept isolated in his cell for 23-24 hours per day for consecutive days – and sometimes weeks – without access to a shower, recreation time, or nutritional meals. We obtained a settlement as well as non-monetary relief, including a court-ordered emergency trip to the prison’s commissary so the client could make purchases in time for his birthday.

We obtained a very favorable settlement in the Southern District of Texas for an inmate at the Harris County jail in his Section 1983 civil rights lawsuit over inadequate dental care, which is a rare outcome for such cases. We not only obtained all the non-monetary relief our client sought, but also secured an opinion that will likely help protect the rights of all inmates to adequate care. 

We partner with legal service providers to match lawyers, or teams of lawyers, with direct representation matters in both the litigation and corporate contexts, including the Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program, Tahirih Justice Center, KIND (Kids in Need of Defense), the Instituto Argentino del Petróleo y del Gas de Houston, and the Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program.

Our community outreach

We regularly volunteer at the Houston Food Bank to assist with meal preparation and packaging for daily distribution, and at the Houston Area Women’s Center to assist with administrative tasks, awareness projects, and event support.  In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, we increased our work with these organizations to help get food and other basic necessities to local residents that were impacted.

Every December, we host a toy drive on behalf of BE A Resource (BEAR) for CPS Kids to provide holiday gifts to abused and neglected children.

We team up with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund for their annual One Walk to help raise funds for Type 1 diabetes research.
