Imagine having to make
these kinds of choices:

  • Feeding your children or hiring an attorney to help collect child support from a parent who abandoned the family years ago.
  • Keeping a roof over your children’s heads or hiring an attorney to help you and your children escape an abusive relationship.
  • Scraping up money to help you and your children relocate because the house you are renting has gone into foreclosure or hiring an attorney to help you advise you of your rights.
