Representing

the people 

since 1916   


The mission of the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee is to provide equal access to legal representation to advance a more just Milwaukee.

For more than a century, Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee has been committed to ensuring equal access to legal representation to build a more just society.

We provide legal services at no cost to more than 6,000 eligible individuals and families each year. Legal Aid specializes in civil matters involving housing security, guardianship, consumer protection, financial health, civil rights, and immigration, enabling our clients to redevelop and strengthen their communities from within.

Through courtroom advocacy, community engagement, committed partnerships, and a steadfast dedication to serving our clients, Legal Aid Society is working for a more equitable Milwaukee.

“Practicing law is our passion. Serving people is our purpose.”
