Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of the communities we serve. Our mission is to provide high quality services in a manner that is consistently respectful, professional, innovative, efficient, and timely.

• Employing a diversity of staff; including lawyers, paralegals, community legal workers, case managers, youth justice, and administrative staff.
• Providing the most appropriate delivery method from a range of services which includes summary advice, representation, community development, public legal education and law reform.
• Directing our resources to cases that are most consistent with the priorities of the low-income community as set by our Board of Directors who reflect our community.
• Providing legal services relevant to the low-income community and being a known and trusted resource within our community.
• Addressing the root causes of the legal problems of the low-income community going beyond individual legal problems.
