MetroWest Legal Services reposted this
Kathryn Reynolds, a Staff Attorney in the MetroWest Legal Services Immigration Unit, wants people to know that, “Civil legal aid attorneys' advocacy for their clients is holistic and extends outside of the courtroom.” She says their role outside of the courts involves “connecting clients with wraparound services, advocating for legislative change, and educating and empowering the community about their legal rights.” We appreciate everyone who goes above and beyond to help their clients and communities around Massachusetts -- and Kathryn is a shining example of that! Thank you, Kathryn!
