LEGAL AID DC

4.3 Glassdoor

We help with housing, family law and domestic violence, public benefits, consumer law, immigration, and criminal record sealing — because no one should have to navigate the legal system alone. Legal Aid also works to identify systemic issues that have an impact beyond an individual client. In such cases, we often seek structural solutions – from changes in law or regulatory schemes to a reform of government or court practice – to benefit our client community.
