Are you a lawyer? Volunteer your expertise.
We welcome legal experts across a wide range of practice areas to provide pro bono legal services, advice, consultations, and representation within their areas of expertise. Whether you can take on a case, provide brief legal assistance, or contribute your knowledge in another way, your time and skills can make a meaningful difference.

We have built trusted relationships with disaster-impacted communities, nonprofit and community partners, government agencies, and recovery organizations across Hawaiʻi. As an established disaster legal services provider, we understand the legal challenges that arise after disasters and have the systems, partnerships, and infrastructure in place to connect attorneys with meaningful opportunities to serve.
When you volunteer with us, you do not have to navigate outreach, client screening, or case identification on your own. We help identify legal needs, connect you with clients whose issues align with your area of practice, and streamline the process so that your expertise can be deployed where it is needed most.
