About us
Maryland Legal Aid (MLA) is a statewide private, nonprofit law firm that provides free, civil legal services to low-income and vulnerable people to address their most fundamental legal problems. From its 12 offices around the state and through its many community-based clinics, we help our clients preserve and access safe and affordable housing, maintain custody of their children, and be safe from domestic violence. MLA increases our clients’ economic security by defending against consumer debt, including foreclosures and tax sales, removing barriers to employment, and accessing critical income supports such as unemployment, food stamps and other vital public benefits. Through special projects, we represent seniors, nursing home residents, children in alleged abuse and neglect cases, migrant farmworkers, and those in mental health institutions. In its advocacy, MLA seeks systemic change through impact litigation, policy advocacy, and storytelling.

New report! Tens of thousands of Maryland residents are avoiding eviction and homelessness with help from implementation of Maryland's Right to Counsel in Evictions law. After four years, implementation of the right to counsel law is making good progress, but there’s more work to be done so all eligible renters who want an attorney in their eviction case can get one. Read the report from the Access to Counsel in Evictions Task Force: https://lnkd.in/eHMB3WXb.
