M. H. “Mike” Gertler, senior partner at Gertler Law Firm, often takes on pro-bono cases for clients who have immediate needs and insufficient means. For example, he recently represented a gentleman who had a problem with his neighbor, and he handled a prisoner’s writ of habeas corpus. Gertler also has performed legal review of legal documents without billing for hours. Additionally, in terms of charitable work, Gertler Law Firm supports Jewish Family Services.
“It’s important to know that doing good is not all about money,” Gertler said. “I tell new associates, ‘If you’re in the practice of law solely for the money, you will never have enough; if you are also here for the good, you will never regret your decision to practice law.’”
