The need is everywhere. That’s why we’re here.
Our community needs a champion to ensure equal access to justice for ALL. As Partners in Justice, Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy and Legal Aid of North Carolina-Charlotte are here to help anyone facing issues of safety, financial security and family stability. There is a justice gap in Mecklenburg County, which impacts our ability to build a strong, just community for all.
[ The Justice Gap ]
1 in 3 Mecklenburg County residents is low-income.
71% of these residents experienced at least one civil legal problem last year.
Only 14%received legal help for their problem.
Between Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy and Legal Aid of NC, there is ONE legal aid attorney for every 11,500 low-income residents in need.
