WHO'S LEFT BEHIND?

80% of the civil legal needs of the poor are not being met.

American Bar Association
The promise of equal justice is the promise of America. “With liberty and justice for all,” are words recited every day by our nation’s schoolchildren. It is a promise that has not been kept.

  • Woman and children victimized by domestic violence do not get the legal help they need.

  • Our Veterans do not receive the support they need with housing, employment and health issues.

  • Families are forced into homelessness by wrongful evictions and preventable foreclosures.

  • The elderly and poor have no recourse when they fall prey to scams in the marketplace.

  • The disabled are discriminated against without the representation they need to protect their rights.

  • Immigrants may face deportation without due process of law.
