?? Women in Pro Bono: Anne Lewandowski Shevlin ?? For Women’s History Month, we’re spotlighting women attorneys making a difference through pro bono work. Anne Shevlin was inspired to give back early in law school, but as a San Antonio transplant, she wasn’t sure where to start—until she connected with SALSA. “Pro bono clients and their cases present the opportunity to make a difference, do what is right, and feed one’s soul at the same time. These cases transport me back to my idealistic law school days and remind me why I chose this profession in the first place.” Anne finds deep fulfillment in helping clients finally get the resolution they’ve been seeking for years. “Their relief is contagious.” Read more about Anne’s pro bono journey and how she encourages other attorneys to get involved: https://lnkd.in/gZgFjJMa ??
