Pro Bono
CABA’s Pro Bono Project’s (CabaProBonoProject.com) mission is to assist the poor and indigent community in Miami-Dade County Florida by serving as a nexus and providing a referral source between needy clients and pro bono attorneys who can provide direct legal services to them. To that end CABA’s Pro Bono Project assists in providing well-trained attorney volunteers to help meet the legal needs of our indigent community regardless of race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation or national origin. The Project further strives to support its volunteer attorneys with access to training, CLE education and mentoring.
CABA members are encouraged to participate in the Project by accepting a case. The cases are generally in the area of family law and immigration, but there are also needs in the following areas: adoption, bankruptcy, consumer issues, disability, foreclosure, probate and guardianship, insurance, landlord/tenant, and other civil matters. The success of CABA’s Pro Bono Project is reflected in the strength of our referral attorneys, members, friends, law firms, institutions, and organizations who have demonstrated their commitment to our future by volunteering of their time, efforts and monetary donations.
The following levels of needed donations have been established for your participation that will heavily contribute to the Project’s success. We welcome your assistance in any manner you can modestly provide.
