The Colorado Supreme Court acknowledges law firms and attorneys that commit to and achieve a goal of providing at least 50 hours of pro bono legal services per year, per attorney. The pro bono pledge is intended to increase access to justice and provide legal services without payment of fees to individuals and organizations of limited means. Rule 6.1 of the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct sets forth an aspirational goal that each lawyer render at least 50 hours of pro bono public legal services per year, with a substantial majority of those hours without fee to (1) persons of limited means or (2) governmental or non-profit organization matters designed primarily to address the needs of persons of limited means.
On April 26, 2023, the Supreme Court held its annual recognition ceremony for all law firms participating in the pledge. And we are pleased to announce Werge & Corbin LLC (Werge Law Group) was recognized as one of the firms that not only took the pledge, but surpassed the goal, completing almost 200 hours of pro bono work amongst attorneys Kelsey Martin, Thomas Werge, and Greg Corbin! We are proud of what this accomplishment represents – our continued dedication to helping underserved individuals and small businesses in Colorado.
