Interfaith Action provides free legal assistance and practical educational opportunities and resources that help people build economic mobility. Our free legal clinic is available twice every month (on Thursday afternoons).

Our legal clinic provides free-of-charge legal advice for community members every other Thursday. You can come in person or get help over the phone.
