What made you interested in working with Legal Aid of Nebraska and in helping our clients?
“The importance of Legal Aid of Nebraska cannot be overstated. Without the top-notch legal services it provides throughout Nebraska, many who need quality legal representation during some of the most challenging and emotional times of their lives would, sadly, probably not be represented at all. Our legal system just plain works better and as it’s supposed to when all parties, regardless of financial means, are represented—and I wanted to be a part of that.”
What do you enjoy about the work you do for Legal Aid of Nebraska and its clients? What makes you feel good/proud about making this part of your law practice?
