In a message sent to the United States Congress on April 18, Tucker Ellis Managing Partner Joe Morford – along with the leaders of more than 184 law firms – pledged their support of the Legal Services Corporation’s (LSC) requested appropriation for FY 2024. The letter reads, in part:

Our local communities depend on the legal aid organizations funded by LSC, and our firms, in turn, rely on these legal aid agencies to increase the impact of our volunteer legal services. That is why our firms, as well as our individual lawyers, give generously to LSC grantees. We ask that Congress reject any efforts to cut LSC funding, and instead continue its bi-partisan support of civil legal aid for our communities.
