We at The Legal Intelligencer know that there are many attorneys across Pennsylvania who dedicate themselves to helping their communities through pro bono service, but it seems that too often, these people do not get the thanks and recognition they deserve. In an effort to give those outstanding attorneys a chance to be honored for their efforts, we asked law firms, public interest groups and bar associations from across the commonwealth to tell us about them, these “unsung heroes.”

We received dozens of responses detailing the hard work and heart-felt stories of many attorneys, and they were all deserving. The editorial department of The Legal selected the stories below, which feature excerpts from each individual or group’s nomination, for being those that stood out above the rest. The stories below are in no particular order.
