The matchmaker; a San Francisco labor attorney helps people become pet owners

Article Abstract:

San Francisco labor relations attorney Tracey Lessen Gersten began volunteering at the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals when she was laid off in 1991. Now, despite 60-hour weeks at Corbett & Kane, she continue to volunteer on Saturdays, helping match people with pets. She finds the communications skills necessary for her labor relations work carry over into her volunteer work. While she has done pro bono work in the past, Gersten finds non-legal volunteering to be more rewarding.
