““Ensuring access to justice means trying to help as many people that we can, to ensure that they can have access to legal assistance, advice or representation. Everyone in our state, including people of all backgrounds, abilities and income should be provided resources and be afforded as many opportunities as possible. Even a little assistance can go a long way. Everyone deserves the chance to get the help that they need.” ”
