At Morris James, we are committed to providing pro bono representation to individuals and organizations in our community. We believe that pro bono service is an important part of a lawyers' professional responsibility. Our commitment to pro bono is a firm-wide initiative and we encourage all of our lawyers to give back where they can.
In honor of the National Celebration of Pro Bono, led by the American Bar Association, we are recognizing a few of our pro bono attorneys and the important work that they do throughout the Delaware community.
Lewis H. Lazarus serves as a pro bono attorney with the Office of the Child Advocate (OCA), a state agency charged with safeguarding the welfare of Delaware's children. Lewis has been working as a pro bono attorney with OCA since 2004, and has had the privilege of providing legal representation on behalf of Delaware’s dependent, neglected, and abused children, some of whom he is still in contact with today.
