Maslon is one of three finalists in the Pro Bono Maximus Award category, which is given to a for-profit company with a superlative pro bono effort or project that provides professional services to Minnesota nonprofits or other worthy causes and yielded notable results.

This holiday season, we're inspired by the work of AchieveMpls with Minneapolis Public Schools to help the next generation become career and college ready.

David was selected for his pro bono representation of a 57-year-old man named Terry Olson who, on September 13, 2016, became the 5th person on record to obtain early release from prison through the work of the Innocence Project of Minnesota (IPMN).

Each will further strengthen Maslon's capabilities in key areas of practice for our clients.

The Award honors those individuals who are dedicated to the fair execution of law, have strengthened the integrity of the justice system through needed reforms, or have been the primary force behind freeing an innocent person in prison.

The award is given annually to a senior attorney or judge in the Twin Cities who exemplifies excellence in his/her practice, community service in the Jewish and general community, and life-long learning.
