Sheppard Mullin encourages its attorneys to provide legal services to the financially disadvantaged and to underrepresented individuals and groups whose legal needs warrant volunteer assistance.
Each Sheppard Mullin office receives cases from local referral agencies that pre-screen indigent clients. Attorneys involved in this type of pro bono work assist clients with problems relating to education, immigration, political asylum, domestic violence, creditor/debtor relations and landlord/tenant problems. The commitment of the firm to pro bono activities has been recognized by several Bar Associations and by the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles.
