Mitch Gilfillan of Quinn Johnston Recognized for Commitment to Pro Bono Legal Services

Mitch Gilfillan, a partner at Quinn Johnston in Peoria, was recently honored with two pro bono service awards.

The Illinois State Bar Association Committee on Delivery of Legal Services awarded Gilfillan with the ISBA John C. McAndrews Pro Bono Service Award for 2019-2020. The award honors the extraordinary commitment of those providing free legal services to the income eligible in Illinois or expanding the availability of legal services to the income eligible in Illinois.

The Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI) staff named Gilfillan to its inaugural Pro Bono Volunteer Honor Roll. The honor represents gratitude for volunteers who support individuals, families, and communities in need through the PILI statewide Pro Bono Program.
