Lansing Law Firm wins State Bar

The Lansing-based law firm of Alane & Chartier, P.L.C., has been recognized with the 2010 Pro Bono Circle of Excellence by the State Bar of Michigan. The Pro Bono Circle of Excellence recognizes every firm that has fully complied with the State Bar's Voluntary Pro Bono Standard for the calendar year 2009. Fewer than 20 firms statewide were recognized within the small firm category. "The Pro Bono Circle of Excellence is important, not only because it provides much deserved recognition to law firms, but also because their examples of service inspire others to meet our pro bono standard and underscore the importance of pro bono assistance for those in need," said SBM President Charles Toy in a March 2010 press release. Toy noted that legal service to the poor is the legal profession's first public service priority. Volunteer legal services for low-income individuals and organizations, and financial support for eligible nonprofit organizations providing free civil legal aid for the poor, are both included in the Voluntary Pro Bono Standard. Alane & Chartier, P.L.C., is a women-owned law firm founded in 2007 by attorneys Natalie Alane and Mary Chartier. The firm specializes in appellate work, as well as family law and criminal defense.
