An investigation of our State's stressed foster care system, a high-profile U.S. Supreme Court challenge to aspects of the Voting Rights Act, assisting in a habeas appeal for a mentally challenged death row inmate, a suit objecting to a new state driver's license program that targets non-citizens, and amicus briefs on critical federal circuit court appeals — these are just some of the diverse pro bono work that Yetter Coleman provides in serving the public interest. The Firm considers legal representation for the underprivileged a top priority and is willing to tackle pressing matters of public concern. From personal representation to impact litigation, the Firm assists clients in forums ranging from local probate court to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Firm's attorneys possess diverse ideological beliefs, engendering a pro bono program that is exceptional in both its breadth and its bearing. Counsel from the Firm has assisted the municipal utility district in Austin, Texas from the outset of its legal proceedings, through successful representation before the U.S. Supreme Court, contesting restrictions on its autonomy in voting and polling decisions. Likewise, the Firm has enjoyed multi-year working relationships with prominent civil rights organizations in advocacy efforts on behalf of abused and neglected children. The Firm accepts appointments to represent indigent criminal defendants on appeal and, in one matter, persuaded the government to confess sentencing error. As a reflection of the Firm's dedication to pro bono work, the Houston Bar Association has designated Yetter Coleman an Equal Access to Justice Champion. Yetter Coleman values its professional duty to serve the greater community and provide pro bono representation to individuals in need. Through a combination of perseverance, sensitivity, and ideological tolerance, the Firm strives to be a catalyst for change, altruism, and justice.
