People deserve to be effectively represented in potentially life changing legal cases!!

We’re on a mission to make justice accessible to everyone.⚖️

We are proud to share EMPOWERED, a collaboration from the Maryland Access to Justice Commission and the Maryland Legal Services Corporation, with support from Maryland Legal Aid. Our video project highlights the life-changing impact of civil legal aid.

Without counsel, civil legal cases such as evictions, custody disputes, or denial of benefits are often unsuccessful. Civil legal aid flips that outcome, giving Marylanders the support they need to protect their rights and move forward with stability and dignity.

Linda, Troy’s mom, got a letter saying the state planned to cut Troy’s one-on-one services — support he had received and needed for nearly a decade.
