The Law Center employs three attorneys and four client advocates who provide legal services and case management to clients. The attorneys together bring many years of legal experience and specialize in issues including Family Law Services, Housing Law, Fair Labor Standards, and Special Needs Populations.

The Law Center handles many different types of civil cases. Some examples include:

  • Preventing pending evictions
  • Reversing wrongful evictions
  • Increasing access to public housing, avoiding public housing lease terminations
  • Family Law issues: domestic violence, child support, child custody, deprivation, name changes
  • Wage claims
  • Access to benefits

The Law Center also connects homeless people to a wide variety of social services including affordable housing, childcare, mental health treatment and drug rehabilitation.

In an average year, the Law Center reverses evictions for over fifty clients or families and removes obstacles to permanent housing for another forty clients. The Law Center also generates, on average, over $250,000 for clients yearly through successful wage claims, securing benefits, reducing debt, procuring child support and more.
