In April, a team of Bracewell and Cheniere lawyers staffed a clinic at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, where they provided legal assistance to 23 veterans.
“It always feels rewarding when you help someone with a legal issue,” Bracewell’s Richard Whiteley said of the veterans clinics to The Texas Lawbook. “You can just tell it’s a huge relief for them because there’s this problem they have and they feel like it’s insurmountable.”
Bracewell has long partnered with Houston Volunteer Lawyers and commits to taking one pro bono case for every five attorneys at the office. This year, the Houston office committed to 27 cases from June to June and far exceeded that goal, said Whiteley, who chairs the firm’s pro bono initiatives in Houston and has led the effort for the past three years.
