The legal staff at Los Angeles’ Alliance for Children’s Rights spend their days fighting for the rights of abused and impoverished children. While they have always relied on pro bono lawyers to help with this important work, they have recently seen a noticeable uptick in interest.
“We have been contacted by a number of attorneys who are willing to donate their time while they look for other employment,” observes Diego Cartagena, the Alliance’s pro bono coordinator. While he sympathizes with those who have lost jobs at firms, Cartagena is thrilled to get the extra help. “It’s been fantastic. It means that we can multiply the number of clients that we can reach at any one time.”
