Our mission is to improve social justice, economic equity, and opportunity and to assure due process and equal protection of the law by providing low-income and vulnerable Marin residents (children, seniors, immigrants, people with disabilities, and the homeless) with access to high-quality, effective legal services, including direct representation and pro per support services, and through affirmative litigation.
Legal Aid of Marin has served clients in Marin County for 52 years (since 1958) by providing high quality legal representation and advocacy, information, referral, advice and community education. In particular, we seek to assist the most vulnerable residents, particularly with problems related to housing, wage and hour claims, contracts, bankruptcy, child dependency and issues concerning older adults.
Acting in a leadership role, Legal Aid of Marin works with a variety of community organizations, to improve conditions for those in greatest need. In contrast to its reputation as an enclave of the wealthy, according to the 2000 Census Bureau, there were more than 56,300 persons with disabilities in Marin County and some 15,000 adults and children are homeless or at risk of imminent homelessness in the course of a year.
Legal Aid of Marin is an original member of the Marin Justice Center and coordinating task force.
