Partner and bankruptcy lawyers near me Bruce Weiner was recognized in the January issue of Brooklyn Barrister for his years of dedication to the Volunteer Lawyers Project providing pro bono work to indigent clients. Asked why he takes time out from his busy bankruptcy law practice to work for free, Mr. Weiner said “I believe very strongly in giving back to the community where I live and work.”
Over the years he has “handled pro bono bankruptcy matters ranging from the filing of consumer Chapter 7 petitions to defending lawsuits brought by U.S. Bankruptcy Trustees.”
Mr. Weiner recommends that all local attorneys consider volunteering some time to the VLP, as it is “very rewarding helping people who really need your help, and you will learn much along the way.”
