Our Mission
Justice for all, regardless of income
Our mission is to provide civil legal services to those with limited means and those who are at risk. This comes from our conviction that regardless of one’s circumstances in life, each person deserves the opportunity to seek justice. Only when other basic needs have been met do most people have sufficient income to pay for a private lawyer
