What “Pro Bono” Means
Pro bono — from the Latin “pro bono publico,” for the public good — is legal work performed free, a professional tradition the State Bar of Texas encourages as service to those who cannot afford counsel.
Why It Matters in Your Texas Case
Service runs through McKay Law’s practice beyond the fee agreement: pro bono assistance for community members who need guidance but not a lawsuit, free consultations that end honestly even when the answer is “you don’t need a lawyer,” and attorney Nathan Kurtin’s stated commitment — born of his own experience being priced out of justice as a student — to helping people “regain a sense of control and confidence” regardless of resources. For injury cases, the contingency fee accomplishes the same access: elite representation, zero upfront cost.
