Featured answer:

Posted by Pedburch: “I began taking pro bono divorces when I graduated law school. It was a great way to learn how to be a lawyer, as I was a solo. Over the years, as I continued taking pro bono cases, I have had a few paying clients and referrals from my pro bono work. I would not take cases as funding source, but it pays a lot of nonmonetary rewards.”
