The Milwaukee Mobile Legal Clinic is thankful to be celebrating its 5th Anniversary. We were hosted by Julie Ebert and Frank Daily at an amazing event where we were able to talk about the Mobile. Without Julie and Frank's constant support, we would not be able to serve the Milwaukee Community. We would also like to thank Mike Gonring for coming out to support us, and for inspiring the Mobile Legal Clinic. A favorite quote is: “In the access to justice field we have to dream big because the problems are so large." We will continue to aim to dream big and serve the Milwaukee Community.
