Tip very well so I can put money directly in the hands of people in my community who need it. Stay involved with local orgs that do the work and attend events when I can.

I try to do some pro bono work. I do this for the people that need it the most and who I think are worthy clients. As someone who deals with a lot of cases, I try to have 5% of my time spent on pro bono work. This is how I give back and clear my conscious at the same time.
