Our mission is to provide high-quality legal services to individuals, families and groups in the greater New Haven area, including the lower Naugatuck Valley, who are unable to obtain legal services because of limited income, age, disability, discrimination and other barriers.

Our goals are:

• To ensure equal access to justice.
• To achieve long-lasting improvement in the rights and living conditions of our client community.
• To foster our clients' ability to protect their own rights.

We are an office of lawyers, paralegals and support staff. Our services are free of charge for those who are eligible. We provide a full range of legal services including full representation, advice, brief service, community education and policy advocacy.
