Hollingsworth LLP is committed to contributing to the improvement and well-being of our community by performing pro bono legal services. Our attorneys provide volunteer legal services and support to low-income and underrepresented members of our community on a wide range of issues, including the protection of rights of the elderly, children, veterans, immigrants, and the homeless.

As one part of that effort, our attorneys assist the District of Columbia Court system’s pro bono mediation programs at both the Superior Court and the Court of Appeals. Most recently, firm partner Shannon Proctor was appointed to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals Appellate Mediation Counsel Panel where she will represent pro se litigants involved in mediation. As noted in Chief Judge Blackburne-Rigsby’s appointment letter, “The mediation counsel initiative is an important step forward in our efforts to ensure justice for all in our community and will allow pro se parties a voice in the appellate process.”
