Legal Clinic for the Homeless (St. Francis House)

The Lawyers Clearinghouse operates free legal clinics throughout the year at four area shelters. In order to qualify, clients must be homeless, using shelter services, or otherwise income eligible for free legal services. This week’s clinic will match pro bono attorneys from Ropes & Gray with homeless clients at St. Francis House seeking legal assistance.

Clients should sign up in advance if possible by contacting the shelter representative:

Doug – 617.654.1206

Clients who are unable to sign up in advance may still attend a clinic. We try to assist with most legal issues but do not take any domestic relations cases (divorce, custody, child support, etc) or represent defendants in criminal trials.
