Barry challenged an audience of more than 150 people to invest in the stability of the foundation. "The Legal Aid Foundation plays a critical role in Santa Barbara County," said Cappello, "Those of us in the legal community should do everything we can to support the foundation's efforts to help the less fortunate receive legal representation." “The need for assistance is growing as economic conditions force families and individuals into legal situations they never could have imagined," says Leila J.
