Missing a deadline, leaving a box unchecked, or submitting the wrong document can change the outcome of a case.

We guide litigants through every step—helping them understand deadlines, gather supporting evidence, and prepare for hearings so they can face the legal system with confidence.

Now is the time to start your pro bono service | Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly
Our legal aid organizations must turn away approximately 40 percent of the eligible applicants who seek their help. And that is without counting the many people who do not ask for assistance.
