Community Commitment - The Firm - Graves Dougherty Hearon & Moody

Serving for the Greater Good

Graves Dougherty takes seriously its responsibility to give back to the community that has sustained its success for so long.

The firm gives back by serving the greater good with numerous pro bono efforts and in fact, Graves Dougherty is a Central Texas leader in pro bono activities. Graves Dougherty works on numerous cases representing indigent clients from Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas, and in 2005, the firm was honored by the Travis County Bar Association for accepting more pro bono cases than any other firm in Austin in the previous two years.
