Your story matters—and we’re here to listen. When you come to us, our first step is understanding your situation. From there, we’ll help you explore your options and connect you with the right resources. Depending on your needs, legal support may not always mean hiring a lawyer. It might involve help with forms, guidance through legal procedures, or referrals to trusted professionals 

We partner with reliable community organizations to ensure you get the support you need, including: 

• CARPLS 
• Sarah’s Inn 
• Chicago Workers Collaborative 

Common Legal Issues We Assist With 

We often assist clients navigating legal issues such as: 

• Child Custody 
• Divorce 
• Criminal Charges 
• Financial/ legal debt Concerns 
• Traffic Violations 

In these situations, we provide information, help you find legal advice, and accompany you during important steps when needed. 

Additional Legal Support Services 

For other legal matters, our support often includes help with paperwork, applications, and referrals: 

• Adult Guardianship: While we can’t complete legal forms for you, we can guide you through the process, help with annual report paperwork, and accompany you to the Daley Center for filing. 
• Child Support: We assist with completing the application and navigating the process.
• Eviction: We support you in filling out your court-based rental assistance application as well as connecting you to legal advice.
• Order of Protection: If you’re seeking an order of protection, we’ll connect you with Sarah’s Inn and provide emotional support—including accompanying you to the domestic violence courthouse to file.
