Maryland Legal Aid is the largest and most comprehensive provider of free civil legal services in Maryland. Our dedicated legal staff work hard to protect the rights of our most vulnerable neighbors who often have nowhere else to turn in times of crisis.

For more than 100 years, Maryland Legal Aid has provided transformative legal help to low-income people and families in Maryland to address their most fundamental legal problems. From 12 offices around the state and through our community-based clinics, we help clients preserve and access safe and affordable housing, maintain custody of their children, and be safe from domestic violence. We increase our clients’ economic security by defending against consumer debt, including foreclosures and tax sales, removing barriers to employment, and accessing critical income supports such as unemployment, food stamps, and other vital public benefits.

Through impact litigation and advocacy, MLA also works to enact systemic change by challenging laws, regulations, and practices that disproportionately harm low-income or marginalized communities.

These efforts not only address immediate injustices but also pave the way for lasting improvements in laws and policies to significantly benefit underserved communities in the long run.

MLA relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to make this critical work possible.
