Help us offer the help of an attorney and the Hope of God's love - serve virtually from anywhere!
Are you an active or inactive attorney looking to share your legal knowledge with the under served community? Are you ready to empower clients and make a difference in your community?
Our clients come to us because they have a civil, legal matter for which they need guidance and possibly representation in court. Some are spouses needing to escape the abuse of their partner. Some are single parents unable to support their children because their spouse walked away from their responsibility. We see elderly clients who have been victims of fraud by contractors taking advantage of their vulnerability on home repairs. We see people who lost what little they had to predatory lenders charging up to 300% interest on loans that could never be repaid under those rates. We deal with landlord/tenant situations, contract disputes, custody enforcement, and many other civil issues for which our clients would have had no hope of resolving without the intercession of a legal advocate. Without our services, many would do nothing about their situation which often turns into a major and complex issue.
Any time you're willing to give makes a tremendous difference to those we serve!
