Peca is an associate in the corporate department of Weil, Gotshal and Manges LLP who served with the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program as a “Lend-A-Lawyer.” As the 2016 Lend-A-Lawyer, Samuel spent two months working full-time with DVAP on a variety of cases, including family law, probate, and expunction matters.  Samuel also assisted at DVAP’s neighborhood legal clinics, prove-up clinics, wills clinic, and veterans’ clinic.  Since his time as a Lend-A-Lawyer has ended, Samuel has helped to coordinate connecting Weil volunteers with DVAP needs.  Prior to his experience as a Lend-A-Lawyer, Samuel assisted DVAP by attending several intake clinics and accepting and resolving an advertised DVAP pro bono matter. Thank you for all you do, Samuel!
