In immigrant communities, language and poverty can create significant barriers to justice. This new model removes those barriers, allowing lawyers to assist more potential clients with family law issues.
I have a family law practice (with some immigration) in Santa Maria, CA, a town of about 110,000 residents in northern Santa Barbara County. Unlike its southern neighbor, Santa Maria is a poor community, with more than 60% of residents living at or below 125% of the poverty line.
