Legal Services - , California, United States
Proboknow's primary mission is to help low income Americans gain access to legal representation they otherwise couldn't afford. We accomplish this is by connecting them with new attorneys in need of experience, and connecting the new attorneys with experienced mentors to help guide them through pro bono cases. Clients get the legal help they need, without having to navigate the labyrinth of overburdened legal services organizations. New attorneys pinpoint exactly the sorts of pro bono cases that fit their career aspirations and experiential goals, while gaining an appreciation for pro bono work at an early stage in their careers. Mentors double the impact of their pro bono work - by not only ensuring quality representation but also much-needed training for newer attorneys.Proboknow has a sister site - www.lowboknow.com - for those who earn too much for pro bono representation, but not enough for market rate legal services.
