The mission of Legal Services, more broadly expressed, is to provide legal representation and advocacy to secure social and economic justice for the disadvantaged and all people. Legal Services focuses its work on the most pressing and important legal needs of low-income people--essential legal aid. Our mission is to secure the greatest possible measure of substantive and procedural justice for our clients, with a special emphasis on expanding economic opportunity for those in poverty. Services are provided in response to a broad range of civil legal problems, including those in the areas of housing, family, consumer law, income maintenance, education, health, employment and juvenile matters.
