Low-income Americans receive little or no legal help for 92% of their legal issues. Without legal advice, simple problems become big problems and the results can be devastating.
To access justice, these vulnerable neighbors need the simple help of a lawyer to answer their questions and chart a path forward. With legal help from a caring team of volunteers at a local church, community members can find empowerment to seek freedom from legal burdens.
For only $30, community members can schedule a 45-minute session with a Vineyard Justice Center attorney and receive support from the team. We help with legal issues including:
An appointment at the Justice Center provides answers to each client’s legal questions, a “next steps” plan to overcome individual legal challenges and caring support from a team of volunteers.
The Vineyard Justice Center is made possible through partnership with Administer Justice and Together Chicago, and together it looks forward to serving Hyde Park and the surrounding communities through this new endeavor.
