Welcome
The Legal Aid Society of the District of
Columbia was formed in 1932 to provide civil legal aid to
individuals, families and communities in the District who
could not otherwise afford to hire a lawyer. Over the last
75 years, Legal Aid has helped tens of thousands of District
residents obtain meaningful access to justice.
Legal Aid staff and volunteers provide
a continuum of services from client education to full representation
before a court or an administrative tribunal. We give priority
to the following types of cases:
• Preventing Evictions and Homelessness
• Preserving Affordable Housing
• Ensuring a Safe and Decent Place to Live
• Securing Access to Health Care, Nutrition, and Public
Benefits
• Protecting Families against Domestic Violence
•
Promoting Family Stability through Child Support and Custody
