Our very own Deanna Whitley was recently recognized by the Community Justice Program of the San Antonio Bar Association in the Subpoena Newsletter for stepping up to help a low-income client who needed a little more help than the program usually provides.
Ms. Whitley partnered up with Rosie Gonzalez of The Law Office of Rosa Maria Gonzalez on a CJP advanced case. When the client’s previous attorney was unable to continue on the case due to complications, Ms. Whitley and Ms. Gonzales helped out in a big way by offering their expertise for the client when more than the usual steps were required.
As a result, the two attorneys were able to assist the client in need and finalize the case with a proper decree, completely pro bono.
In a quote, the assisted client stated, “I just really didn’t know what I was going to do when my previous attorney couldn’t continue. I was scared I couldn’t get divorced and have what I needed to continue being the caregiver to my children. I needed to move out of the area and I was amazed these ladies were able to help me get this finished and wrapped up so quickly. They were so nice and really knew what they were doing. Thanks to your program and those attorneys, I can restart my life and have a sigh of relief for something that has been a struggle for so long.”
