Why PBN Works for Me

by Karla Livney

How did a retired attorney, mother of three, living in Highland Park end up working with PBN in Oak Park? The short answer is the people who founded and work with the organization are smart, dedicated and passionate about what they do. It’s contagious. When I decided last year that my kids were independent enough for me to start considering doing some legal work again, I did some checking around. All roads led to PBN.

I love that I can pick my field of interest: I love that I can help people who really need help in a few short hours a week (during the school day); and I love the people I’ve met through the organization.

I am still figuring out exactly what areas I want to zero in on, but so far I have enjoyed the projects I have worked on. My only regret is that I am not close enough to kick back and enjoy a cup of coffee with my PBN connections, and that makes group projects a nonstarter for me right now, but a North Shore branch is in the works. If you are interested in growing this great organization in my area, contact us!
