Craig E. Rothburd, P.A.— a Tampa-based law firm that has made pro bono service an integral part of the firm’s ethos — will receive the 2025 Law Firm Commendation from Chief Justice Carlos G. Muñiz at the annual Pro Bono Awards ceremony Jan. 16 at the Supreme Court of Florida. The commendation honors significant contributions in the delivery of legal services to individuals or groups on a pro bono basis.

Under the leadership of Attorney Craig E. Rothburd, this small firm has consistently demonstrated a deep-seated dedication to serving the underserved.

Rothburd’s pro bono service has included handling debt defense cases, foreclosure defense and automobile fraud cases, often taking several pro bono cases at a time. In addition to these direct services, Rothburd inspires other lawyers to do the same, serving as speaker at legal aid conferences, where he shares his expertise on the complexities of consumer matters and the tools lawyers can use to help communities in need.
