Pro Bono

Abigail has served pro bono clients through the Volunteer Lawyers for Justice’s ReLeSe (Reentry Legal Services) Expungement Clinic. She has also assisted with the full representation of certain individuals’ expungement matters by helping to assess individuals’ eligibility for expungement of their criminal records. Expungements result in clear records and help individuals reach their career goals.

As volunteer attorney, Abigail has assisted in the resolution of municipal court traffic matters on behalf of a participant in ReNew, a reentry court program established by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey for certain individuals on post-conviction supervision. Significant traffic fines and points on a driver’s license can hinder participants from finding employment and harm them financially. ReNew focuses on individuals who pose a significant risk of violating the conditions of supervision. Participation in the program is voluntary, and participants are granted a reduction of their supervision term of up to one-year upon successful completion of the program.

Abigail participated in Faegre Drinker’s Law2Life Program, which is a legal enrichment program held at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey. Abigail assisted the Law2Life students as they prepared for mock trial presentations before a New Jersey Superior Court judge.
