I read with interest the Aug.10 story about the Arvada Municipal Court’s establishment of the One Small Step Program. I am one of the court-appointed lawyers representing indigent clients in that court. I have observed the use of this unique program as many of my clients are homeless or otherwise living without significant resources. It is not only a unique program, but much needed, as the story points out. I applaud Judge Kurtz for supporting and using this program. It is a life changer for many of the clients and possibly a lifesaver as well. It is a program that should be an example for other communities and courts.
