Robins Kaplan LLP is pleased to announce it has been selected to receive Inner City Law Center’s Katharine Krause Award, recognizing the firm’s outstanding commitment to advancing justice for people experiencing homelessness.
The award honors Robins Kaplan's pivotal role in securing a landmark victory for disabled homeless veterans. Working in collaboration with Public Counsel, Brown Goldstein & Levy, and Inner City Law Center, the firm helped achieve a historic ruling that mandates significant reforms at the West Los Angeles VA Campus, including the development of new housing units and substantially improved healthcare services for disabled veterans.
The landmark case stands as a powerful example of Robins Kaplan’s ongoing dedication to advancing justice through pro bono work. In 2024 alone, the firm dedicated more than 19,500 hours to pro bono services across a range of impact-driven matters, earning recognition as #14 in the nation on The American Lawyer’s annual Pro Bono Scorecard.
"We are deeply honored to receive the Katharine Krause Award," said Roman Silberfeld, National Trial Chair at Robins Kaplan and co-lead counsel in the case. "We believe that access to justice is a fundamental right, especially for those who have served our country and are now facing homelessness. This recognition is a powerful reminder of the role the legal profession can play in advancing dignity, equity, and lasting change."
The award will be presented at Inner City Law Center's 25th Annual Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, May 21, in Los Angeles.
