Sounds of Cobb: Actual Voices, Actual Impact
Yashica Marshall Legal Services of District 4 is here to be a voice for Cobb County residents who desire to protect their legal rights and improve the conditions of our community. The core of our service is grounded in the experiences and confidence of those we serve. This page features quotes from clients, donors, and community members whose lives have been impacted by our clear approach to legal service that emphasizes transparency, fairness, and grass-roots organizing. Their rallying call is what fuels the fire of our work.
Fighting for Families
“We were dealing with a difficult property tax dispute and it was overwhelming for my family. When we began working with Yashica Marshall and her staff, they clearly explained the process every step of the way and tenaciously advocated for our position. It was comforting knowing that they ensured everything was done transparently under the law. To this day, I feel the end result was fair, and the entire community is better served for having Yashica by our side.” – Maria Thompson, Cobb County homeowner
Empowering leaders of tomorrow
“Yashica was the first to meet me and other new students at a community legal clinic she hosted. Her enthusiasm in legal education showed through in her ability to break down the legal system in a way we all understood and make a point to answer every question while encouraging us to become active participants in local government. I walked away from that clinic feeling as if I had a right and an obligation to vote and get involved. Yashica’s investment into youth is an investment into Cobb’s future.” – Brandon Lee, KSU
Standing up to pointless fees
“Although I am a small business owner, I objected to the proposed stormwater fee and MSPLOST sales tax. Yashica Marshall’s vocal objection to these proposals, replete with solid legal analysis, was bold and inspiring. What makes her truly stand out is her willingness to voice her opinions and become the representative of everyday people in the community. It gives me comfort to know that there is someone like her around keeping local government in check.” – Priya Desai, business owner, Mableton
Providing essential legal counsel when needed most
“My job was terminated unexpectedly and I did not know what my rights were and how I would ever be able to afford an attorney to fight my case. Yashica’s staff replied to my inquiry within minutes, gave me honest and accurate advice, and referred me to the pro-bono organization that provided an attorney for my case. Their understanding and professionalism helped me through a very difficult period in my life. I appreciate the work they provide for free to serve all members of our community.”
James Whitfield, Austell
Strengthening the community through volunteerism
I started volunteering with Yashica Marshall Legal Services last year, offering legal support at outreach events in District 4. What really stood out to me was how the staff truly cared about everyone that came through the door. Yashica sets that precedent by leading by example: she gets her hands dirty, is down to earth and always promotes being the change you want to see. Volunteering with Yashica Marshall isn’t just about providing a legal service, it’s also about working together for a community that’s better, safer, and fairer for all. – Karen Miller, Cobb County volunteer
Legal Aid externship programs annually benefit over 40 Georgia law students and provide essential services to the community.
Essential voice for greater transparency
Yashica Marshall is a breath of fresh air in local advocacy. She regularly reports on legislative policy positions and fiscal responsibility that keeps the community in the know. She is not afraid to rock the boat and always looks at what is in the best interest of the community. I can rely on her to ensure that legal resources are used prudently and reinvested into services that benefit us all.
Giving back to Cobb
“When I heard Yashica committed to giving her first year’s legal service fees back to the community, I knew she was the leader we needed, someone who puts into action the things that she believes in. She is committed to investing in the community, and prosperity through the local economy. We are all bettered by investing in her organization.” – Felicia Grant, community advocate
