                  “While conducting notification reminders, a client told me that he didn’t know he had to come back to court and didn't have his lawyer's information to find out more. I looked further into the case using our online database and was able to find the contact information for his attorney. I gave the information to the client to get more information about his court case and the client was so appreciative.”

                  “When I notified a Spanish speaking client of his court date, he shared with me some of his concerns about coming to court. I discussed with him the consequences for not appearing in court (likely a warrant) and told him some general information about the court process. The client expressed he felt better about going to court and did not want to make his situation worse by missing his court date"
