“The work I and other volunteer lawyers do for Her Justice is what inspired many of us to become lawyers in the first place – providing solace, guidance, and high quality legal representation to people when they need it the most,” said Matras. “I am very proud to have played a small part in Her Justice’s mission, and I am truly humbled to receive this honor.”

Her Justice supports women living in poverty in New York City by recruiting and mentoring volunteer lawyers to offer pro bono legal assistance to address individual and systemic legal challenges, providing vital services in areas such as financial independence and protection from abuse to women who lack the financial means to access them independently.
