Pro Bono Mentoring Effect: High Impact Help For Clients

"Matt Chung just may have found his pro bono niche. After the successful outcome of his first pro bono bankruptcy case, the patent attorney at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP is eager to do more to help those saddled by crushing debt they have no ability to pay.

“When the opportunity came to volunteer with the [D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center’s] Bankruptcy Clinic, I jumped at it,” says Chung, who earned his JD from New York Law School in 2012. “I wasn’t familiar with the law itself, but I thought that maybe through this, I may be able to one day also help the community with student loan relief. I think this is where I can make an impact.”
