If your nonprofit organization is in need of legal representation, please complete the Community Law Center's Application for Legal Services along with the nonrefundable application fee and all requested information for the organization.

Once received, the Application for Legal Services will be reviewed.  A Community Law Center staff member may contact the applicant for additional information. Once an application is accepted by Community Law Center, Community Law Center will seek an appropriate staff or volunteer attorney to match with the organization.  Finding a match generally takes three to four weeks after all information has been received.  Community Law Center cannot guarantee placement of all cases.  However, Community Law Center has a long history of successfully matching organizations with attorneys.
