Rudy
Valenzuela
May 2008
The Attorney of the Month
for May is Rudy Valenzuela. Mr. Valenzuela was
selected to receive this
award once before, about 10 years ago. VLP selected
him a second time not
only because he has continues to serve clients, but
because he has actually
expanded the services he provides. Recently the
VLP expanded its pro
per clinics to include a domestic relations clinic in
Spanish in Pima County.
Mr. Valenzuela was the first attorney to step up
and agree to lead the
workshop in Spanish. 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.

Anyone you would like
to acknowledge for contributing to your legal

What drives you to

I enjoy volunteering

to the community.

I’ve been playing in
various baseball and softball leagues for the past several
