“Pro bono publico - ‘for the public good’ - not just in the sense of professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment, but in the sense of a public service to those who are unable to afford the services of skilled professionals. It is a noble and necessary calling for all attorneys.”
 Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye (October 2014)

What is the Larimer County Pro Bono Program About?

The Larimer County Pro Bono Program attempts to match residents with private attorneys for certain legal matters.  The Program provides referrals, as available, to private attorneys (Pro Bono) and to appropriate agencies for residents of Larimer County who meet financial and income guidelines.  The Pro Bono Program does not handle bankruptcy, criminal, workers compensation, social security or personal injury cases.  Intakes occur weekly in Fort Collins on Wednesdays and in Loveland on the last Tuesday of each month, with some holiday restrictions.
