MORE WORDS OF
PRAISE
The lawyers who staff the legal aid services in Florida are undeniably
at the heart of our legal system; they ensure our system of justice is
available to all.
The legal aid lawyers often represent the only true access to our civil
justice system for the less fortunate of our citizens. These include
the working poor, the disabled, single mothers, the elderly, and, of
course, children.
Legal aid lawyers are at work every day to help these vulnerable people
maintain or restore their independence by giving them the tools to help
themselves.
Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Warren E. Burger once said:
"Concepts of justice must have hands and feet...to carry out justice in
every case in the shortest possible time and the lowest possible cost."
Our legal aid lawyers provide the "hands and feet" to make justice
happen for the poorest among us. They truly are tireless crusaders for
the legal rights of the poor, the elderly, the disabled, and the
children in need.
I congratulate all of our legal aid lawyers for their extraordinary
commitment to providing services to the disenfranchised. Because you
care, because you are committed, because you are dedicated to the
notion of equal justice under law, you provide hope for the hopeless
and a voice to the voiceless.
