"I have been in the Attorney Emeritus Program since I retired in 2012. I am fortunate to have an excellent pro bono legal service provider, Volunteer Legal Services Project of Rochester (VLSP), and my old firm, Nixon Peabody LLP, both of which support pro bono work. I obtain the majority of pro bono cases through VLSP, which does an excellent job of intake and initial workup of the cases. Since January, 2012, I have averaged about 90 hours per year of pro bono time and have had a variety of interesting cases, including tax, real estate, record expungement, professional accreditation and insurance disability. I very much enjoy my time doing pro bono, and it is always the first thing I tell people when they ask me what I do in retirement. I am also a member of an advisory group which supports the work of VLSP through outreach to law firm managing partners and corporate counsel."
