  • Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP – Righting the Wrong: The Power of Pro Bono
    Mar 25 2025

    Kramer Levin’s commitment to justice is powerfully exemplified in its pro bono work to overturn the wrongful conviction of Anthony Hall, who spent 26 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Their unwavering dedication not only helped secure Hall’s freedom but also underscored the transformative power of pro bono work in changing lives and addressing injustice.
