It's National Celebration of Pro Bono Week!

This week, the Florida Guardian ad Litem Office is proud to recognize dedicated pro bono attorneys like Evan Morning, who generously give their time to help represent, advocate for, and support children who have experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect.

Evan began his service while still in law school, joining the Florida Guardian ad Litem Office in 2024 as a Guardian ad Litem Volunteer. After being admitted to The Florida Bar in 2025, he continued his dedication to Florida's children as a pro bono attorney.

Assigned to three siblings, Evan has dedicated more than 70 hours to advocating for and supporting the children. From coordinating sibling visits and helping them celebrate their brother's graduation together to working alongside the team toward permanency for one of the siblings, Evan has made a lasting difference in their lives.

As the two older brothers enter adulthood, Evan continues to serve as a mentor, helping them develop important life skills such as budgeting and planning for independence. One of the siblings, who is now excelling academically, continues to stay in touch with Evan.

Thank you, Evan Morning, for your commitment to Florida's children and your continued service as a pro bono attorney! We also extend our appreciation to all pro bono attorneys who generously share their time, talents, and expertise to make a difference in the lives of children.

🎉 It’s National Celebration of Pro Bono Week! 🎉

This week, we proudly recognize the many attorneys who dedicate their time and expertise to help and protect those in need, assisting them in finding better outcomes. Across Florida, many attorneys join our Office to represent, serve, and support children who have been victims of abuse, abandonment, or neglect—attorneys like Allison.

Allison, who practiced dependency law priorly, has shown exceptional commitment to children by serving in two distinct volunteer roles: as a Guardian ad Litem Volunteer in Circuit Seven and through our Defending Best Interests (DBI) initiative, assisting children during both the trial and appeals process.

In one recent case, Allison supported a teenage girl and worked to build a constructive relationship with the child’s mother as she completed the steps necessary for reunification. Her consistent encouragement and support helped both mother and daughter navigate the dependency process as they worked toward being reunited. The mother and daughter were successfully reunified.

Allison has volunteered with DBI since 2021, preparing brief answers in appeals where a judge has determined that termination of parental rights is in a child’s best interests and providing critical appellate advocacy on behalf of children’s legal interests. She has donated over 230 hours of pro bono legal service, preparing briefs in 21 appellate cases involving 25 children, helping them move closer to permanency in safe and stable homes. One of Allison’s cases resulted in a published appellate opinion that now serves as guidance in future dependency cases across Florida. Allison has become one of the Office’s most reliable DBI volunteers, consistently providing thoughtful, high-quality appellate advocacy.

Through both her trial-level volunteer service and appellate advocacy, Allison has demonstrated an extraordinary willingness to give her time and legal skills to children at multiple stages of the dependency process.
