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.
