"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. For over 40 years, the Legal Assistance Foundation of Metropolitan
Chicago (LAF) has provided free civil legal assistance to tens of thousands of low-income and
elderly individuals in Chicago and suburban Cook County.
Almost one million of the most vulnerable residents of Cook County are
eligible for our services. For those who are low-income, elderly, or disabled, our legal
assistance is often crucial for them to protect their homes, their employment, their public
benefits, or to protect their constitutional or statutory rights.
LAF is dedicated to helping
those who cannot afford legal counsel navigate the legal system and understand and safeguard their
rights as a step toward achieving economic self-sufficiency for themselves and their
families.
