Pro Bono & Community Involvement

VMM is dedicated to justice and the wellbeing of our community. For over 50 years, we’ve been helping a wide range of clients and nonprofit organizations through pro bono and community involvement, including legal counsel, board positions, sponsorships, donations, volunteering, and legal education (free speaking engagements and training seminars). We approach our pro bono work with the same dedication to excellence and success as we do other cases, proudly improving the lives of our fellow New Yorkers and New Jersians.
