Anthony Ostlund attorneys Steven Pincus and Peter McElligott were recognized by the Minnesota State Bar Association as 2021 North Star Lawyers. This recognition is given to attorneys that provide at least 50 hours of pro bono legal services annually to low-income people at no fee, and without expectation of a fee.
In 2021, Pincus and McElligott continued to serve as co-counsel with Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid, and its affiliate the Minnesota Disability Law Center, in a federal court civil rights lawsuit brought on behalf of a class of disabled individuals living in group homes who have been denied the choice and opportunity to live more independent lives of their own choosing in the community. They are grateful for this recognition from the MSBA on this important work.
