Richard Anderson II of Anderson Trial Law is a Pro Bono Hero because of the time, effort, and compassion he gives every child he represents, says Crossroads For Florida Kids . Since joining Crossroads in 2025, he has logged over 300 hours representing four youth with complex needs across the foster care and juvenile justice systems. His first case, involving a young man in juvenile mental health court, ended with all charges dismissed, and he still stays in touch with that youth. Richard volunteers to pay forward the guidance he received as a young man, and he brings patience and perseverance to every case. "The most rewarding part," he says, "is helping young people find sources of strength in themselves, and inspiring them to a future marked by enduring happiness."
