The phones light up just before 9AM. The

very first call is from a young mother

on the Eastern Shore who has left her

abusive husband and desperately needs a

divorce. Michelle, MVLS’ veteran Pro Bono

Program Manager, gathers the important

facts – they have been separated for

over a year and despite working two jobs,

she’s struggling to support her family . . .

MVLS 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

THIS IS PRO BONO

IN MARYLAND

Page 2: MVLS

This is Pro Bono. This is MVLS Notwithstanding budget cuts,

increased demands for service and an economy that didn’t improve, MVLS volunteers and donors made all of the difference

in meeting the needs of Marylanders who were unable to afford legal representation last year. To be specific, 676 MVLS volunteers helped 3,741

Marylanders (whose total household size exceeded 9,700 people) in cases that made real the effects of unemployment, lack of healthcare and family discord in our clients’ lives. Our volunteers helped these families navigate the complexities of Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceed-ings, contested custody cases, foreclosure and landlord-tenant proceedings to name just a few. The three clients profiled in this report are representative of the challenging cases our volunteers accept and their willingness to tackle difficult and time consuming cases – without compensation.

As has been widely publicized, all legal services providers funded by Maryland Legal Services Corporation were cut 5% in 2012, and much deeper cuts are likely next year if the Maryland Gen-eral Assembly eliminates court filing fee surcharges that support legal services. At the federal level, the Legal Services Corporation, which funds legal aid organizations nationwide, announced that budget cuts will result in legal aid staffing cuts of 8% in 2012. With fewer legal aid lawyers, the role of the private bar in bridging the projected gap in services will be even more important.

To ensure that MVLS is well-positioned to respond to the expected increase in demand for legal services, but without additional revenue, the MVLS board and leadership team spent the past year evaluating our programs for impact, alignment with our mission and sustainability. As a result, MVLS support of certain non-core programs will end and these programs will be transitioned to other organizations. Our pro bono mission and core program, however, will continue and expand as it has for over 30 years.

The MVLS board and staff are committed to meeting the growing need of low and moderate income Marylanders for legal services now and in the coming years, despite state and federal budget cuts. We are confident we will be able to do this because of our strong volunteer lawyer panel of over 3,000 lawyers and the financial support of many hundreds of donors.

Sincerely,

Bonnie Sullivan Lawrence D. CoppelExecutive Director Board President

“We were nervous because we didn’t know what was going to happen at first. But Mr. Lano was on top of everything. He reassured me and talked me through each step, explaining what could happen, both positive and negative. He was awesome. And the outcome was perfect.”

Laura P. Byrd, Ms. Phillips’ daughter said she was relieved by Ms. Wilson’s fast resolution of her mother’s case, noting “Alicia did a marvelous job for us, and I don’t know what we would have done without MVLS.”

2012 MVLS AWARDS

Yollette’s commitment to pro bono work sets a high bar for others. She is the definition of going ‘above and beyond.’ Last year alone, Yollette accepted 16 pro bono cases from MVLS. The variety of cases she’s willing to accept is remarkable and includes family law, bankruptcy, foreclosure, name change, and tax controversy. Furthermore, she exponentially expanded her impact on pro bono legal services by mentoring three other volunteer lawyers this year.

Volunteer of the Year YOLLETTE S. ATKINSON

At Grossbart, Portney & Rosenberg, a consumer debt and

bankruptcy firm, pro bono is a team effort. Robert Grossbart

is a prolific volunteer who regularly accepts foreclosure and

bankruptcy cases, instructs other volunteers at consumer

bankruptcy trainings, and mentors individual volunteer

lawyers. His partner, David Portney, also accepts pro bono

cases from MVLS as well as volunteering regularly for the

Debtors Assistance Project at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Since its founding in 1989, the firm has helped thousands

of people regain their financial footing.

Law Firm of the Year GROSSBART, PORTNEY & ROSENBERG

One of MVLS’ most dedicated volunteers, Frank, a solo practitioner, has represented 54 bankruptcy clients since joining our panel in 1999. His unwavering commitment to the underserved was illustrated this year with the culmination of a three-year litigation battle on behalf of an MVLS client with disabilities. Frank achieved a remarkable outcome for our client in federal bankruptcy court by persuading the court to discharge over $300,000 in student loan debt as part of her Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Frank’s precedent-setting achievement makes a unique contribution to bankruptcy law that will help future bankruptcy petitioners with disabilities.

Volunteer lawyers are the engine that runs MVLS. Without them, our clients would have to face the legal system alone. And so we say, “Thank you!” to all the volunteers whose names you see below. We also thank our dedicated volunteers who continued to work on pro bono and reduced fee cases from prior years. We are proud to report that in FY 2012, 676 volunteer lawyers donated 13,144 billable hours, valued at over $3.9 million, representing MVLS clients. Listed below are the names of MVLS volunteers who accepted a new case between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. Volunteers are listed by the county of their primary office. If the volunteer accepted more than one case it is noted in parenthesis.

Celebrate Pro Bono

Benefit

On October 19, 2011, MVLS honored its volunteers, friends and donors at our annual “Celebrate Pro Bono” reception at the University of Maryland School of Law’s Westminster Hall in Baltimore. Two hundred attendees enjoyed a catered buffet, networked with peers, listened to remarks from distinguished keynote speaker Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown and applauded our award winners: Volunteer of the Year, Mark Scurti, Law Firm of the Year, The Kennedy Law Firm, and MVLS Partnership Award winner, Stuart O. Simms.

On the evening of March 15, 2012, MVLS hosted a “March Madness” themed benefit at the Sports Legend Museum at Camden Yards. Over 250 MVLS fans watched the NCAA tournament basketball games on three big screens, enjoyed a sports fan menu of stadium fare, played arcade basketball games, met the Towson University and Johns Hopkins mascots, bid on exciting silent auction items and toured the museum. Former Baltimore Colts defensive tackle Art Donovan attended as the Honorary Sports Legend.
