27,000+ pro bono hours. 84% attorney pro bono participation rate. 112 events held. 2,463 event participants (DWT and corporate partners combined)

DWT’s managing partner Jaime Drozd describes her sense of commitment to pro bono:

I feel like as a lawyer I have an obligation to use this education I’ve received and the skills that I have to help people that are in need of help.

Without exception, every pro bono case I have handled has given me unique opportunities to develop my legal skills and experiences — from jury trials to appellate arguments and settlement negotiations — that have been critical to my practice.
