Working to reduce domestic violence, protect children and create long-term solutions for families by providing legal services to the poor.
Did you know that research has shown that the presence of a legal aid office actually decreases domestic violence within a community?*
Did you know that research has shown that as little as $100 received each month in child support by a needy family decreases the odds of that family returning to public assistance from 30% to 10%?**
Family law advocacy can make a real difference in the lives of individuals and in the community as a whole!
Help us protect victims of domestic violence, establish safe and stable custody arrangements for children, and lift families out of poverty by obtaining accurate and enforceable child support orders.
Legal Assistance utilizes staff and private volunteer attorneys to provide high-quality legal services to the poor through multiple monthly clinics and full-case representation, and by working in concert with other community organizations to meet client needs and extend the reach of services.
Your donation to Legal Assistance of Dakota County makes a difference!
