Clients should sign up in advance if possible by contacting the shelter representative listed for each shelter. Clients who are unable to sign up in advance may still attend a clinic. Each clinic starts at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 12:00 p.m. 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. Please contact Maribeth Perry at 617 778-1980 if you have any questions or need further information.

We are effective and efficient.

On a budget of only $160k, we are able to provide the community with over a million dollars of donated legal services. The nonprofits that receive our services are then able to provide extensive services in their own communities.
