Foley & Mansfield extends our congratulations and appreciation to Minneapolis partner Lisa Lamm Bachman, recognized once again in 2015 as a North Star Attorney by the Minnesota State Bar Association.

The North Star list highlights MSBA member attorneys who provide 50 hours or more of legal services in a calendar year to low income people at no fee – and without expectation of fee.

Despite juggling the demands of a busy practice and family life, Lisa makes the time to volunteer her services to The Tubman Safety Project, assisting low-income victims of domestic violence and The Children’s Law Center, assisting Minnesota youth in foster care.  “I make it a priority to help when I can,” she says. “Pro Bono work is an important aspect of our profession and I consider it a key part of being a well-rounded attorney.”
