  • "I keep volunteering because; I enjoy helping and finding solutions for clients. The sense of relief on the part clients at the end of our conversations is rewarding. Volunteering also helps keep me active, research and learn new areas of the law. It is a way of giving back to the community "

  • "I like to be able to use my knowledge, experience and skills to help people in ways that I am unable to do through my regular employment. I like having the opportunity to mentor law students or junior lawyers. I also want to meet and work with other people with similar interests to expand my personal and professional network."

  • "Every time I go, I learn something new! Opportunity to learn and engage with people. The entire reason I started two fold – 1st to help out the community who are lower income, and truly believe in my bones in Access to Justice,   2nd exposure to legal problems and processed I don’t do in my daytime job."
