TCE LEGAL helps coordinate the pro-bono activities with many volunteers in Puerto Rico and across America annually. We could not provide free civil legal services to low-income and vulnerable residents without the help of attorneys, law firms, corporate legal departments, paralegals, interpreters, and college student volunteers.
