Quotes from San Diego FJC Legal Network Clients “I was a mess. I did not understand anything that was happening. Then three VOICES committee members showed up to be with me in court and I pulled it together. It was amazing.”
“They welcomed me with open arms. They never made me feel stupid.” “The second [my advocate and I] walked into court, I just gave a sigh of relief. I felt so much more confident in front of the judge.” “The Legal Network saved my life. They listened and then they helped me from start to finish!” “If there weren’t facilities like yours and people like Alexia (the managing attorney), I don’t know what I would have done.” “As embarrassing as the incidents were, I was made to feel comfortable and was not judged… Everyone treated me with dignity and respect.”
“As embarrassing as the incidents were, I was made to feel comfortable and was not judged…
