Since 2024, HVL has dedicated the month of February to honoring James B. Sales.
James was a passionate leader of the Bar, pro bono service, and professionalism. While serving in nearly every leadership capacity possible – President of the Houston Bar Association, President of the State Bar of Texas, Chair of the Texas Access to Justice Commission, Delegate of the American Bar Association House of Delegates, and many others, he also initiated and founded the Houston Volunteer Lawyer Program, the Houston Bar Foundation (and served as its first Chair), the Texas Lawyers’ Assistance Program, and other programs designed to aid citizens and lawyers in need of help. As a firm supporter of legal aid, James believed that we “need more boots on the ground” in the fight for social justice.
We challenge you to “Recruit More Boots” by taking on a case (or two), encouraging your peers to volunteer, and spreading the word through social media.
There is strength in numbers, and every pledge or post helps us expand pro bono efforts to better support more of our neighbors in need.
