Welcome!

MassLegalHelp.org's mission is to use the Web in new and creative ways to improve access to justice for low income and disadvantaged people. We connect, support, and educate advocates and the general public. The content on our website is written by people in the legal services community.

MassLegalHelp.org is part of the Massachusetts Legal Aid Websites Project. See our Facebook page. The project is a collaborative effort of the civil legal aid community of Massachusetts. We are based at Massachusetts Law Reform Institute and get our funding from the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation.
