DLA Piper Rewarded for Pro Bono Work

With the Bar Association of San Francisco's Volunteer Legal Services Program, DLA Piper provides free legal services to low-income communities across northern California, including services in family law, eviction prevention, consumer debt defense and aid to the homeless.

Program Director Sheldon Krantz accepted the award on behalf of the firm at the ABA's annual business section meeting in Boston on April 15.
