Description

Starting a "Low Bono" Law Practice

Live Audio Presentation
Wed., October 28, 2015
12:30pm - 1:30pm ET

Most lawyers are aware of the importance of pro bono legal services for meeting the needs of those in poverty. But what about the needs of the millions of Americans who have some income, but for whom market-rate legal fees are still an obstacle? A growing segment of solo attorneys and small firms have started practices intentionally targeting low- to moderate-income clients.

Join the Christian Legal Society for a conversation with two attorneys who have charted their own paths with careers serving low to moderate-income clients, including small nonprofits and small businesses. Hear how they balance work, family, income, and the desire to help those in need.

Presented by:

Ken Liu, Director of the Christian Legal Society's Legal Aid Ministries, with:

Carmen Amen, Esq. currently serves as General Counsel for a multi-state engineering firm and also runs a private practice focusing on business transactional law for small businesses and nonprofits in Southern Nevada. She is also dedicated to providing Christian pro bono legal services through her private practice and is taking steps to establish the first Christian legal aid center in Southern Nevada.


Monica E. Kim, Esq. is principal of Law Offices of Monica E. Kim, LLC, practicing exclusively family law in Seattle, WA. Most of her clients are people whose income is limited, but too high to qualify for pro-bono services.

If you know of anyone who may be interested, please help spread the word!
