Pro Bono Application Program | The Faulkner Firm

Access to Justice

Legal Help for Those Who Need It Most

At The Faulkner Firm, we believe that every family deserves access to quality legal guidance — regardless of financial means. Our Pro Bono Application Program is designed to extend the reach of our work to families who may not otherwise be able to afford it.

Estate planning and probate are not luxuries reserved for the wealthy. A proper plan protects children, preserves assets, and prevents the kind of family conflict that leaves everyone worse off. We are committed to making this accessible to families who truly need our help.

Our pro bono program focuses primarily on estate planning and probate matters — the areas where lack of planning most often leads to preventable hardship for vulnerable families.

Program Overview

Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Acceptance into the program is not guaranteed and is subject to availability, scope of need, and the firm's current capacity.

The program is open to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship who need assistance with estate planning or probate matters.
Applications are reviewed personally by Debbie Faulkner. Not all applications will result in full pro bono representation — some may be offered reduced-fee arrangements.
Priority is given to cases involving minor children, special needs beneficiaries, or situations where the absence of legal guidance poses a significant risk of harm.
The firm reserves the right to limit the number of pro bono matters accepted in any given period.
