Mo Goldman
April 2008
By Stacy Rupprecht
Butler
The Attorney of the Month
for April is Mo Goldman. Mo began volunteering with
the VLP in the fall of
2005. Over the course of the last several years, Mo has
volunteered to assist
many clients with immigration matters. These cases are
often very difficult and
involve expertise held by a very limited number of attorneys
in Pima County . Mo has
been a wonderful resource for VLP clients, never
declining to help when
called upon by program staff. The VLP’s monthly award
is a distinct honor: of
the 1100 attorneys who volunteer their time with VLP,
only 12 receive the VLP’s
Outstanding Pro Bono Attorney award each year.
Q & A with Mo Goldman:
Where did you go to
law school?
Hofstra in New York.
One reason you would
encourage attorneys to volunteer with VLP?
I think every attorney
should make volunteering a part of their legal work, it’s
expected of the bar and
it feels good to get these cases done with successful
results.
What is your favorite
Tucson restaurant?
Wildflower.
What do you enjoy most
about practicing law in Tucson ?
I like the laid-back
atmosphere. The attorneys are not as competitive or cut-
throat compared to New
York. Also, New York was cold.
If you ever retire
from private practice, it will be to start a new
career as a ______?
Probably something in
sports administration.
