McLane Middleton is proud to recognize attorney Mark C. Rouvalis with the 14th annual Jack B. Middleton Pro Bono Legal Services Award for his outstanding commitment to serving citizens in need.
McLane Middleton created the award in support of its efforts to help ensure that all New Hampshire citizens, regardless of resources, have access to the justice system. Since the firm’s inception, McLane Middleton has been a consistent leader in supporting the state’s most vulnerable constituents. The award is named after Jack Middleton, who has worked tirelessly for more than 60 years giving back to those most in need.

“Mark has been a part of the firm’s Pro Bono Committee since its inception,” added Dennis J. Haley, Jr., chair of the firm’s Pro Bono Committee. “He is quick to mentor and assist new associates who are interested in taking on Pro Bono cases.”
