Community Sponsorship

Catholic Charities Legal Services (CCLS): This community-based, quality legal services program helps people with little to no income in obtaining pro bono legal assistance in civil matters from area lawyers and attorneys in specialized fields while also providing compassion, empathy, and a listening ear to all who come seeking help. Through the CCLS program, the program director matches a client’s legal case with an area lawyer who has agreed to represent him/her in the court of law. Catholic Charities believes that regardless of a person’s ability to pay, every human being has the right to competent legal representation and justice under the law as a community-based, quality competent legal representation. CCLS is bridging the justice gap through compassionate pro bono legal services. Read more
