The Hartford County Bar Association honored Lisa Zaccardelli, Partner and Chair of the Labor and Employment Practice at Hinckley Allen, with their 2024 Pro Bono Award at this year’s annual Law Day. The formal ceremony took place at the Hartford Superior Court house on May 10, 2024, and was attended by judges, attorneys, dignitaries, awardees and keynote speaker Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas.
The HCBA is a voluntary, not-for-profit association of lawyers and judges in Hartford County dedicated to both furthering the principles of law and justice, and promoting public service. The Pro Bono Award presented to Attorney Zaccardelli recognizes an attorney each year who exemplifies the professional ideal to serve their community and help ensure access to justice for all.
Lisa is an Executive Board member of both Greater Hartford Legal Aid and the Greater Hartford Legal Aid Foundation, and is highly aligned with their mission to impact the community through advocacy to address critical needs. The presenters of the award noted that she not only helps to address the area’s pro bono needs structurally, but also on a granular level where she often handles individual matters that allow disadvantaged clients to both receive justice, and more importantly, retain their dignity. Please join Hinckley Allen in celebrating Lisa – her commitment to pro bono work is an example for all legal professionals by demonstrating the impact advocacy can have on communities and individuals alike.
