Legal Aid, And Their Clients, Need Our Federal Dollars

There is a Legal Assistance Foundation right down the hall from my district office, and I see hundreds of people come through there, often coming into my office, because its the only legal recourse they can seek–its the last hope they have.

There are not enough resources, there are not enough attorneys.

Legal Assistance lawyers are just swamped, sometimes I feel sorry for them, knowing the number of cases they got.
