Gulfcoast's extremely dedicated and knowledgable attorneys, staff, and director is why they have such success stories. And they do it all on a shoestring since the Legal Services Corp. decided to not fund them directly anymore after 25 years of serving the Pinellas/Sarasota/Manatee communities. Continuing to provide the highest level of service to those with no money for a lawyer and to the elderly while seeking grants to pay the overhead is not easy. Loved this video. Keep up the great work!
