Providing representation for individuals, and non-profits, that can’t afford an attorney is a deeply held value for us at Gordon Thomas.
Our attorneys provide legal counsel across a wide range of practice areas, including employment law, personal injury, business law, real estate and land use, and estate planning, probate, and guardianship. Through our pro bono work, we apply that experience to help individuals and nonprofit organizations that otherwise may not be able to afford legal representation.
In 2023, a little over 75% of our associates did the same.
In 2023, in addition to representing individuals who otherwise couldn’t afford an attorney, our lawyers represented the following non-profit organizations:
- The Emergency Food Network
- Joy through Tears Foundation
- Gig Harbor Fish Food Bank
- The ACLU of Washington.
- St. Luke’s Memorial Church
- Tacomaprobono
- Northwest Immigrant Rights Project
Gordon Thomas awarded our associate, Richard Lumley, with our Pro Bono Attorney of the Year Award for 2023 for collaborating with the Family Violence Appellate Project in writing an amicus appellate brief in Desean v. Sanger. Richard, volunteering his time and energy, helped write a brief supporting a survivor of sexual assault and was part of the successful effort in obtaining an appellate decision that strengthened the rights of sexual assault survivors. Congratulations Richard for making a difference.
