Since 2009, Ed Vergara has served as vice president of investments at Marcus & Millichap based in Palo Alto, California. A graduate of the University of Santa Clara Law School, Ed Vergara is also a member of the State Bar of California.
Due to a recent surge in pro bono legal work in response to immigration actions in the United States, the State Bar of California recently released a statement encouraging attorneys to keep up the effort. In their statement, President James Fox and Executive Director Elizabeth Parker underlined the importance of legal access as a fundamental right and core value of the State Bar. They also encouraged others who may not be able to provide legal services to help in other ways, such as donating to the organization’s Justice Gap Fund.
Additionally, the State Bar reminded attorneys that they must be active with the organization in order to provide pro bono legal services in California. Inactive members are eligible to have all fees waived if they take part in the Pro Bono Practice Program.
