Legal Aid of North Carolina (LANC) actively recruits, trains, mentors, and co-counsels with volunteer (pro bono) attorneys to help them handle the many complex and changing legal issues unique to the practice of civil poverty law. Our PAI ("Private Attorney Involvement") Program helps to ensure access to justice for low-income families and further leverages the dollars that are invested in LANC. Typically, pro bono attorneys are needed either for their special expertise and/or to help us with our large case load.


To volunteer pro bono service in the counties served by our Ahoskie Office, contact our PAI ("Private Attorney Involvement") coordinator:

Wake County pro bono attorneys win (again) !

Addie K.S. Ries
 Smith, Anderson, Blount, Dorsett, Mitchell & Jernigan, LLP

Matthew D. Rhoad
 Smith, Anderson,Blount, Dorsett, Mitchell & Jernigan, LLP

Wake County volunteer attorneys Addie Ries and Matt Rhoad (Smith, Anderson, Blount, Dorsett, Mitchell & Jernigan, LLP) have brought another pro bono case to a successful conclusion. (They do that a lot.) This time they represented the mother of two young children, whose landlord had unlawfully disposed of the client's belongings after an eviction proceeding. The case was settled for $40K, secured by a confession of judgment from the landlord. The client received the first $10K in October and reported that she has begun buying back the essentials for her family--including beds for her children, who have been sleeping on inflatable mattresses since the summer.
