Our pro bono partners generously volunteer their time and legal expertise, helping us fight the gun lobby in court and defend lifesaving gun laws.

For more than two decades, the legal experts at Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence have fought to find solutions to the epidemic of gun violence that touches more than a hundred thousand Americans each year. Today, we are a national force for gun safety legislation, litigation, education, research, and advocacy. Our team is based in San Francisco, Washington DC, New York City, and Tucson, and our partner coalitions operate in states across the nation.

Our Pro Bono Partners

Since our founding in 1993 after the tragic mass shooting at the law firm Pettit & Martin, many of our greatest successes have been thanks to the remarkable pro bono support of leading law firms and solo practitioners. This team of pro bono partners is made up of some of the sharpest legal minds in the nation, brought together to help solve our rampant gun violence crisis.
