“I volunteer with Step Up to Justice because it makes me feel good while making the community stronger. Volunteering is how a lawyer can be responsive to the needs of our low-income neighbors. It helps people feel heard and ensures that access to justice becomes a reality for people who may not otherwise be able to access legal services. I am always surprised by how much knowledge lawyers have and how much we can give in a short time. What seems minimal to the lawyer has a huge effect in our community.”
