IRVINE, Calif., May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- US citizens grow up with the unshakeable conviction that they are entitled to "liberty and justice for all" - two of the core principles of American democracy. The country born out of rebellion rose to become a beacon for humankind, leading the modern world in economic development, education, art, science, and technology. Yet, even this exemplary democracy has its challenges to overcome, among them racial and cultural integration, immigration, security, and welfare. "Despite its achievements and progressive attitudes, the United States still lacks equality in certain spheres, an example being the justice system, specifically as regards access to legal representation for underprivileged or marginalized communities. The issue is particularly grievous when it comes to providing criminal defense services, thus denying low-income individuals the right to seek justice, protection, or remedy. Failure to resolve this problem poses the threat of perpetuating a vicious circle of social exclusion and poverty," says acclaimed California-based attorney Joseph Cavallo.
