CAS Cathy Citro

“My advocate stood up for me in court and explained what I was dealing with, helping reduce my sentence. She stayed close with me through my incarceration—checking in, writing letters to the parole board, and making sure I got connected to therapy and anger management. And when I got out, she helped me get my benefits, get my medications, and make my plan. Today, I’m working, in treatment, and have my own apartment. The system had given up on me, but the Court Advocacy team believed in me and gave me my life back.”
