Foster Garvey’s Commitment to Pro Bono Work & Community Impact

Download PDF

We channel decades of tradition and experience into high-impact pro bono work that strengthens our communities.

For us, pro bono is more than just a commitment; it’s an enduring tradition and an essential part of our firm’s identity. From our roots as Foster Pepper and Garvey Schubert Barer, we’ve built a culture  centered on giving back. Our attorneys  devote more than 3,000 hours each year into cases that matter—fighting for justice, supporting the underserved and lifting up the communities we call home.

What We Do

Attorneys across all practices and levels, from our new hires to senior practitioners, pitch in. Our people stand up for those without a voice, fueled with the same tenacity we bring to every client challenge.

From high-stakes advocacy to quiet but powerful wins for individuals, we take on cases impacting  large, societal issues and individual struggles alike. These matters range from high-profile criminal justice reform and clemency petitions to cases involving immigrant rights and veterans’ needs.

Why It Counts

This isn’t goodwill alone. It’s grit, skill and a century-old belief that the law belongs to everyone. Pro bono roots us in the communities we serve and reminds us why we became lawyers in the first place.
