Giving back to the community is an integral part of how we run our own business and allocate resources of time and energy. We are grounded in the reality that pro bono services of a law firm can help the quality of life of everyone in the region it serves. To that end we not only provide legal services but we are active participants and take leadership roles in the day-to-day activity of many local non-profit organizations. Here are just a few selected groups that we help.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell Inc.
We represent Habitat in real estate matters and numerous general counsel assistance making her available to negotiate real estate matters and real estate closings for the organization that constructs affordable housing in the Greater Lowell Area.

D'Youville Senior Care Center
William F. Martin, Jr. has served as a director and Executive Committee member for five years advising the nursing home on numerous issues relating to the delivery of home health care and nursing home services.

“Bill Martin has been a committed board member and building committee member for D'Youville for close to four years. He's been instrumental in the strategic planning, assisting in key activities ranging from advocating for funding for the independent living project, to achieving tax exempt status for the new D'Youville Foundation and D'Youville Senior Living entities. It's not only his expertise that D'Youville benefits from, but Bill’s genuine support of D'Youville's mission, his accessibility, and his personable qualities, that make him an invaluable asset as well as a great pleasure to have as part of the D'Youville team.”

Lowell Parks and Conservation Trust, Inc.
Matthew C. Donahue and William F. Martin Jr. are co-founders of this 13-year-old land trust dedicated to preserving open space and historical buildings in Lowell and are active on its Board of Directors. Mr. Donahue serves as the Secretary to the Trust.

“The Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust has been fortunate to have the expert legal guidance that Matt and Bill provide to our organization as board members. Matt started the organization in 1989, so knows non-profit environmental organizations from the inside out. Bill has directed us through complicated land acquisitions with legal counsel that our small organization could otherwise never afford. Thanks to Eno, Martin, and Donahue's pro bono services we've been able to build a successful organization that's making a difference in the quality of life in Lowell.”
