Pro Bono Specialist Jorge Escobedo was honored for his pro bono work at InMotion's 2010 Commitment to Justice Awards in New York on February 9.

Escobedo received the Pro Bono Liaison Award for his work providing translation and interpretation services on the various matters that the firm works on involving low income women as well as his care in matching a client with pro bono attorney and his commitment during the course of the representation. He also volunteers at InMotion's Saturday Bronx Legal clinic, conducting intake for many women seeking representation.

InMotion is a New York-based non-profit organization that offers support for low-income women who need free legal services in matrimonial, family, and immigration law.

Says Saralyn Cohen, Shearman & Sterling’s Director of Pro Bono, “We are so pleased that inMotion recognized Jorge's outstanding work. He is an integral part of our team and has allowed us to expand our pro bono service to this vulnerable population.”
