Pro Bono Support
DHV has loved the law ever since she was a child. As a child in grade school, DHV enjoyed reading and re-reading her Father's Perry Mason library.
DHV is always looking for ways to help Law Firms save money and increase their revenue. DHV has come up with a new means.
Now it is possible for Your Firm to contribute Pro Bono hours without Your Firm losing billable hours, and annual revenue.
DHV Legal Placement Services, Incorporated ("DHV Legal Placement") Attorneys offer Your Firm an unique, win-win opportunity to do the following:
- Permit Your Firm to increase billable hours and Your Firm's annual revenue,
- Permit Your Firm to play an important role in contributing community service to this Nation's less-privileged, and
- Permit Your Firm to help rebuild this Country's economy by creating jobs for out-of-work Attorneys.
Every reputable Law Firm such as yours surely desires to volunteer as many hours as possible to service the less-fortunate community, however, due to the loss of billable hours, Law Firms can contribute only so many hours per year before the Law Firm starts seeing a loss in revenue.
Attorney time is valuable. Billable hours are necessary in order for Law Firms to survive and prosper.
Albeit, now it is possible for Your Firm to contribute Pro Bono hours without Your Firm losing revenue and billable hours.
Now Your Firm can hire competent, experienced Attorneys, at Contract Attorney rates, to volunteer Pro Bono hours to the community in Your Firm's name--in Your Firm's stead.
Through the use of experienced DHV Legal Placement Attorneys, Your Firm's pledged Pro Bono hours may be increased at a cost far less to Your Firm than using Your Firm's billable-hour Attorneys.
DHV Legal Placement Attorneys are qualified to provide, on Your Firm's behalf, Pro Bono services to individuals living in poverty who are at risk of losing their homes, their livelihoods, and their families, as well as small businesses and community-based non-profits needing legal help.
Last year, the District of Columbia Bar Pro Bono Program alone touched the lives of 15,000 District of Columbia residents.
Maryland's Pro Bono Program did, as well.
Did your Firm contribute? Now you can, with most competent and experienced DHV Legal Placement Attorneys.
Some of DHV Legal Placement Attorneys are UDC's David Clarke School of Law ("UDC-DCSL") graduates.
UDC-DCSL ranked 10th in the Nation for Clinical Legal Education offering Pro Bono services.
In June, 2010, US News and World Report ranked UDC-DCSL 10th in America (out of 188 ABA accredited law schools analyzed) for clinical legal education.
In its annual Best Law Schools analysis, US News and World Report ranked UDC-DCSL's clinical program more highly than those of numerous law schools, including Harvard, Stanford and Columbia. UDC-DCSL's 10th place ranking in 2010 was up from a top-twenty-five ranking in 2009.
UDC-DCSL has the Nation's largest clinical requirement of 700 hours, plus a 40-hour first-year community service requirement, which includes an Immigration and Human Rights Law clinic.
US News and World Report's analysis also found that UDC-DCSL was tied for second in the Nation in diversity of its law students, with the fifth highest percentage of African American students (29%)--considering high rankings for both clinical quality and diversity.
Moreover, U.D.C. David A. Clarke School of Law, well known for its leadership in clinical legal education and its public interest mission, announced its new Master of Laws (LL.M.) Degree Program. The LL.M. Program prepares attorneys to become clinical educators and leaders in the public interest bar.
When Your Firm hires DHV Legal Placement Attorneys to satisfy your quantified volunteered Pro Bono hours, Your Firm determines what agency/agencies shall receive the hours to be volunteered. However, the overwhelming need for services continues to be in the areas of family/domestic law, with bankruptcy and consumer debt problems second most in demand.
Albeit, case types, as well as DHV Legal Placement Attorneys' competency run the full gamut of civil legal issues, including volunteering for community legal clinics.
