There is Still Time to Give in 2024! |

"There's too many words. It's hard for me to learn to trust, and CDEL’s compassion earned my trust. There's not enough nice stuff to say about Marlo. I feel like I'm starting to heal after my divorce. Marlo is so kind and supported me emotionally through the legal divorce process. They reduced my anxiety quite a bit - they didn't have to go above and beyond, but they did. They are wonderful; I almost can't believe there is someone like Marlo out there. I couldn't have gotten through without their help!" - CDEL Client Mary

Mary felt an immense amount of relief and safety after working with CDEL Staff Attorney Marlo Pahl in getting her divorce finalized. CDEL’s embedded community clinics at BUILD, Inc, and the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation are great for clients like Mary to get the legal assistance they need in the community they live and feel most comfortable in. We hope you will come together and support CDEL in celebration of all that we have accomplished in 2024 and for the past 40 years. Support CDEL clients like Mary in getting the justice they deserve.
