Brown, Goldstein & Levy was a proud sponsor of Celebrate Pro Bono 2024, hosted on Wednesday, Oct. 23 by the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service (MVLS). The annual event was held at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, where 10 awardees were recognized for their exceptional commitment to pro bono practice and to their communities.
In addition to being a sponsor, BGL was also represented at the event by attorney Anthony May, who serves on the MVLS Board of Directors. BGL is deeply aligned with MVLS’ mission to create a just legal system, free of financial barriers that inhibit underrepresented Marylanders from receiving the legal services they need. We enthusiastically sponsor and attend MVLS events every year, including Celebrate Pro Bono and MVLS’ annual Taste for Pro Bono events.
BGL is committed to improving the lives of residents across Maryland and Washington, D.C. Our attorneys devote hundreds of hours a year to providing high-quality legal representation at no cost. As a firm, we are committed to the pursuit of social justice and equity, maintaining a robust pro bono practice is one way that we are closing the gap between those who can afford a lawyer and those who cannot.
