Mobile Legal Help Center
Legal services on wheels - Bringing free legal services to your community.
Our innovative legal help van brings lawyers into local communities that have historically been underserved. For many populations, such as people who are geographically isolated, people with disabilities, and survivors of intimate partner violence, access to high quality free legal services can be out of reach.
By traveling to meet individuals in their communities, we promote access to and trust in our justice system.
Our Mobile Legal Help Center is on the road almost every day to bring lawyers to hard- to-reach populations.
Services
Our attorneys bring justice to communities. We offer the following legal services on the van:
- Assisting with immigration issues, including citizenship, green cards, and asylum
- Fighting to preserve safe, affordable housing
- Working with survivors of intimate partner violence on orders of protection, custody, and divorce
- Advocating for workers earning low wages in matters of discrimination, wage underpayment, unemployment insurance, and disability and pregnancy accommodations
- Helping individuals who fall victim to consumer fraud, debt, and identity theft get access to financial counseling
- Assisting with estate planning, including wills, health care proxies, and powers of attorney
