Help Support DC Refers
People of modest means should not need to face the legal system alone!
Many people in the District of Columbia earn too much to qualify for free legal services from a pro bono lawyer or nonprofit legal aid provider but too little to afford to pay the amount that most lawyers charge for legal services.
People whose incomes fall between 200-400% of the federal poverty guidelines often have no good options for obtaining legal assistance.
We seek to fill that justice gap.
