Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy
The Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy provides a wide range of civil legal assistance to eligible low-income persons in the Charlotte metropolitan area and west-central NC. We accomplish our mission through legal advocacy strategies including individual advice and representation, community education and outreach, representation of groups, self-help remedies, collaboration with other agencies, community economic development, legislative and administrative advocacy, and impact litigation.
Purpose
Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy helps people in the Charlotte, North Carolina, region who cannot afford legal services, but desperately need them. Without legal representation in civil matters, thousands of families can lose access to financial security, healthcare, housing and opportunity.
The impact goes far beyond our neighbors in need. It affects our entire community.
