Maryland Legal Aid`s mission is to provide quality legal services to Maryland`s poor through a combination of services and to make the changes the poor want in the systems that affect them. Services include statewide legal representation for Maryland`s low-income population, foreclosure prevention, legal services for workers, and eviction prevention. Maryland Legal Aid`s Long-Term Care Assistance Project provides free legal aid to help low-income individuals receive long-term health care. Through this project, clients can get the services and supports they need, wherever they want to live, whether at home, in the community through assisted living or in nursing homes. To request legal advice or representation, complete the online application form. MLA is dedicated to protecting the basic needs and human rights of clients, particularly as they navigate the justice system. Members of Parliament staff, volunteer lawyers, community partners and general supporters all have an important role to play in ensuring that the legal playing field is level so that those who need it most have equal access to justice. With this diverse support, MLA is able to amplify the voices of tens of thousands of economically disadvantaged and vulnerable Marylanders each year. Maryland Legal Aid (MLA) provides life-changing civil legal assistance for eligible residents throughout the state. Since 1911, MLA has been providing quality legal services to marginalized and low-income individuals and communities, helping them resolve their civil law problems and become self-reliant to overcome challenges, achieve stability and independence, and a better life overall.
Hello, I already used this legal aid in 2016/2017 for my custody file. I need help to change in order to get this case back to court, I have full custody of my kids and they visit their dad every other weekend, but I have learned that he is moving out of state and choosing this for his visit, but I want me to pick them up, it`s 1 hour and 45 minutes in one direction and 1 hour and 45 minutes back. I had knee surgery, so I can`t drive for a long time or it`s hard for me to drive at the pick-up time at 6:30pm in the dark. The Senior Legal Helpline is a toll-free phone service for Maryland residents 60 years of age and older. Lawyers who work on the helpline provide legal advice, brief legal services or a referral to another lawyer or an appropriate public or private body. By offering these services over the phone, seniors can get help with their legal problems without having to leave home. Maryland Legal Aid`s community lawyers initiative places highly trained lawyers directly in underserved neighborhoods to provide free, life-changing legal assistance. Lawyers also provide assistance with record expungement to remove barriers to maintaining employment, affordable housing and child care. The Community Lawyering Initiative includes a series of weekly and monthly suppression clinics coordinated and organized in partnership with community organizations across the state, as well as the expansion of the Lawyer in the Library program to other libraries in Baltimore, Baltimore, and Montgomery County. MLA handles civil (non-criminal) matters that deal with a wide range of issues, including custody, housing, utilities, consumer law (e.g., bankruptcy and debt collection), and record expungement to remove barriers to obtaining custody, housing, and employment. Important documents recommended that I speak to a lawyer about my mother`s will and inheritance. These are difficult times for everyone.
