New York Attorney Recognized in the NYS Courts Access to Justice Program for Pro Bono work with the Family Court’s Volunteer Attorney Program

An Attorney in our New York office was recently recognized in the NYS Courts Access to Justice Program for her Pro Bono work with the Family Court’s Volunteer Attorney Program. New York attorney Lisa Tyner provided pro bono assistance to unrepresented low-income clients in the family court help centers. Volunteer attorneys assist with initial pleadings in support, paternity, custody, visitation, family offense and guardianship matters. As noted, “The availability of such services helps reduce delays, helps ensure a more efficient and fair outcome for unrepresented litigants and empowers litigants to pursue their cases to final resolution.”
