Pro Bono Partner Luke Liss accepted the award on the firm’s behalf, stating, “To be able to engage in this work for immigrants, for civil rights, on behalf of survivors and families, is such a joy. What a privilege it is to practice law and be able to give back and pay forward, and to be involved with NLADA, the largest and oldest nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing access to justice and civil rights for the underserved, makes it even more special.”
