Work Toward Equal Justice With Us
As the largest provider of free civil services in the five counties of Western New York – Erie, Niagara, Orleans, Genesee, and Wyoming counties – we envision and are working toward a future where all members of our community have full access to the justice system, are fairly and equitably treated, aware of their legal rights, and learn self-advocacy.

- are about to be evicted
- who have no money for food
- veterans
- victims of domestic violence
- people with disabilities who are unable to work, or who are trying to get back into the work world
- children with physical disabilities who need medical equipment just to live day-to-day
