Larkin Hoffman’s year-round partnership with Volunteer Lawyers Network (VLN), which advances access to legal services, continued with the Firm’s sponsorship of the 2026 Riverfront Celebration: 60 Years of Justice. The annual event, held at Nicollet Island Pavilion, recognized the dedication of VLN volunteers, the courage of its clients and the individuals whose service helps expand access to justice across Minnesota.

Larkin Hoffman has a longstanding relationship with VLN and is committed to the organization’s mission of providing legal services to people experiencing poverty. Beyond the Riverfront Celebration, Larkin Hoffman attorneys work with VLN throughout the year. The firm helps staff a monthly VLN pro bono clinic. Firm attorneys also support VLN through individual pro bono representations, volunteer leadership and fundraising efforts.

“Attorneys have a professional responsibility to use their training and experience to help ensure that access to justice does not depend on a person’s ability to pay,” said Christopher Yetka, chair of Larkin Hoffman’s Pro Bono Committee. “Pro bono service is an essential part of our profession. Our continued partnership with VLN gives our attorneys meaningful opportunities to answer that responsibility and make a tangible difference for people in our community.”

Yetka was joined by Larkin Hoffman attorneys Dan Ballintine, Greg Lee and Maddie Volk at this year’s Riverfront Celebration.
