⚖️ Pro Bono Week Volunteer Spotlight: David Lebby Opening doors for clients.

Creating opportunities for growth. David Lebby’s connection to Georgia Justice Project began in law school, when he assisted with his first record-sealing case. That experience opened his eyes to the lasting barriers a criminal record can create, even long after someone has paid their debt to society. Today, David is an associate at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP, where he focuses on patent litigation. He continues volunteering with GJP because he’s seen firsthand the relief clients experience when they can finally move forward without their past holding them back. His volunteer work has also brought meaningful professional milestones. During a recent GJP case, David delivered his first oral argument at a hearing involving the restriction and sealing of records of pardoned convictions, with GJP staff supporting him throughout the preparation and hearing. ⚽ Beyond the courtroom: David enjoys playing kickball with his three children, all under five years old. And apparently, in their version of the game, the bases can be run in any direction! 😄 Thank you, David, for your dedication to GJP’s clients and your commitment to making second chances possible! #ProBonoWeek #VolunteerSpotlight #AccessToJustice #SecondChances
