| Brett Barfield ’99 |
St.Thomas Law alum, Brett Barfield, will be recognized this month by The Florida Bar for his extensive pro bono work.
Mr. Barfield, a Miami partner with Holland & Knight, led his firm to handle more than 80 cases under The Hague Convention on International Parental Child Abduction. The Hague Convention is a multilateral treaty developed by the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) that provides a method to return children internationally abducted by a parent from one member country to another.
He donated more than 380 hours of his time in 2016 and coordinates Holland & Knight’s pro bono program.
The Florida Bar Pro Bono Service Awards will be presented at the Florida Supreme Court on January 19.
