Dade Legal Aid Family Law Attorney Alexa D. Philossaint received the following email from one of her clients after completing her case: "I want to express my gratitude for all the work you’ve done to help my case, and I wanted to say thank you for being so diligent and fast with the case. Because of your efforts my son will be always taken care of, and I am incredibly grateful!"
Another client from Put Something Back Pro Bono Project sent the following feedback regarding her family law case and her pro bono attorney, Francisco J. Vargas: "Amazing service and professionalism from my attorney Francisco J. Vargas, along with his assistance Luz. I'm so grateful."
A client of attorney Ada Arias wrote: "Thank you so much for job well done. I am forever grateful!"
"As one of the recipients of Put Something Back, I feel very blessed and grateful for the opportunity your program provided me. I am so thankful for the assistance that diminished my financial burdens as I proceed to restore my finances."
"Once again thank you so much for all assistance that the program provided to me."
"I would like to thank your program for all the help it gave me. I have two children and was served with a Foreclosure notice and my husband left me during the pandemic. I applied to government agencies and other legal services providers in town but none of them returned my calls. I tried working with my mortgage company but was unable to do so on my own. I was scared for my children and myself. Someone at church suggested Dade Legal Aid to me and Bruce Levine quickly accepted my case and took the time to explain the process and my options. All of your staff were very nice and professional. The attorney I was assigned continues to help me and keep me updated and returns my calls if I have any questions. I highly recommend this program that helps people like me. I also want to thank all the wonderful staff on behalf of myself and my children."
A very grateful Housing client of Alexandra Mesa wrote: "Thank you for everything you and Legal Aid did for me and my family. I want you to know that I will be forever grateful for your hard work, and that you and your family will always be in my prayers. If it weren't for you and your hard work, we would have been evicted and lost all of our belongings. I could not be any more grateful for the results in my case! Thank you a million times! You are the best housing attorney!!"
A Family client of Stephanie Grosman wrote: “Thank you so much to you and to your wonderful assistant for all of the work that you have done for my case. I wish a thousand blessings and many good things returning to you as a thank you for the marvelous work that you do helping people like me. Success to you both and to Legal Aid!"
A former Family client of Juanita Cendan sent a note thanking her for her work on his case years ago. He and his brother were assisted by Legal Aid when their grandmother petitioned the court for custody after their parents were killed in a car accident. Jesus was 12 years old at the time when Legal Aid represented his grandmother and 20 years later, as he sat down to write his personal statement for law school he couldn't help but recall his first experience with the legal profession which came via Legal Aid's representation on a Custody Petition and hearing for his family. "My brother and I had become orphaned, leaving my grandmother to petition the court for our custody. As an indigent client, my grandmother sought Legal Aid's help in this matter in 1991, and you graciously provided us with your full attention, love, and representation. Upon the granting of the Petition on Christmas Eve, Ms. Cendan took my brother and I back to your office where toys awaited us under a Christmas tree. In my letter to the law schools, I wrote about that life changing experience we shared with you inside the judge's chambers. Twenty-three years after that faithful day when the judge granted our petition, around the same wonderful time of Christmas, I graduated from law school. Recalling this experience has again brought me to tears, mostly tears of joy in knowing that there are organizations and people reminiscent of yourself and Legal Aid who not only perform their jobs well, but who also go the extra mile in loving and caring for the people they represent. On behalf of my grandmother (who is still alive and kicking), my brother Junior, and myself, thank you and Dade Legal Aid." Jesus Montero
