Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc., is this year’s winner of the Solo & Small Firm Section’s L. Michael Pro Bono Award and has received a $4,000 grant in recognition of its Partners for Equal Justice campaign and Justice Bus program.

Finalists Florida Rural Legal Services, Inc., in Stuart and the Cuban American Bar Association in Miami each received $2,000. Because the section’s 2020 Annual Meeting was virtual, the winners will be recognized during a presentation ceremony in June 2021 during The Florida Bar Annual Convention.

The annual L. Michael Roffino Pro Bono Award — previously known as the Bill Jacob Award — is given to the pro bono organization in Florida that has created the best pro bono service program during the past year. Originally named the Bill Jacob Award in honor of the section’s first chair, it was renamed in 2004 after the untimely death of former section Chair L. Michael Roffino.
