Alum Brett Barfield to be Honored by The Florida Bar for Pro Bono Work

Brett Barfield '99

St.Thomas Law alum, Brett Barfield, will be recognized this month by The Florida Bar for his extensive pro bono work.

Mr. Barfield, a Miami partner with Holland & Knight, led his firm to handle more than 80 cases under The Hague Convention on International Parental Child Abduction. The Hague Convention is a multilateral treaty developed by the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) that provides a method to return children internationally abducted by a parent from one member country to another. 

He donated more than 380 hours of his time in 2016 and coordinates Holland & Knight's pro bono program.

The Florida Bar Pro Bono Service Awards will be presented at the Florida Supreme Court on January 19.
