Pro Bono Legal Work

Apart from the various paid legal services on offer, Shekinah Law’s professional and support staffs are also committed to doing work on a pro bono basis on a consistent basis concerting its efforts on different cases like domestic violence related matters, family matters, probate matter, Estate matters, to charitable organizations whose work is designed to fulfill other important needs in the community; and those organizations whose primary mission is to serve the less fortunate in society on a case by case basis. All requests for pro bono work is made directly to the Principal of the Firm. Shekinah Law lawyers have represented domestic violence victims through Fiji Women Crisis Centre referrals or those that have directly approached the Principal, seeking legal assistance.  Shekinah Law has also done awareness presentations to charitable organizations on their legal responsibilities.
