Serving our community through pro bono work is part of Alto Litigation’s core values. In this season of giving, we are even more grateful for the opportunities to give back to the local community.
In 2022, Alto attorney Monica Mucchetti Eno took on a pro bono engagement for a client of the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo. The Legal Aid Society is a vital voice for underserved populations that provides free, quality legal services to low-income residents in San Mateo County.
Legal Aid Society of San Mateo provides a myriad of legal services including domestic violence support, guardianship, housing clinics, conservatorship, and other needs as they arise. In her pro bono work, Ms. Eno represented the mother of an 18-year-old child with severe developmental and cognitive disabilities, to secure conservatorship over her son.
As a result of Ms. Eno’s efforts, the client obtained a Court Order in August appointing her as her son’s limited conservator. As her son’s conservator, the client may now provide for her son’s needs associated with daily life, including making arrangements for his housing, health care, meals, personal care and education.
