As Practice Head, Jacquie Cassette says, "At the heart of much of our daily work, is simply affirming our clients' (and those in the communities we assist) dignity and their worth as human beings. This we do not just in winning a court case for them, but through the privilege and profound responsibility of listening to their stories and sharing in their struggles, losses and, in many instances, pain. While we can't guarantee a win, we promise that we will fight for them and their rights."
