CLA volunteer attorneys provide legal assistance on a pro bono basis, meaning their services are typically free of charge. We evaluate whether potential clients can afford legal assistance on their own or qualify for free support. These volunteer attorneys donate their time to advance CLA’s mission and support clients.

The scope of pro bono representation varies by project, but representation is generally provided at no cost. In a few cases, clients may be responsible for certain legal fees or may enter into a reduced-rate agreement with the attorney. Any such fees or costs are clearly discussed before any agreement is made. If you have questions about whether CLA can assist with your legal needs, please don’t hesitate to contact CLA
