Through a combination of in-house services and representation through our statewide network of consumer protection attorneys, Civil Justice helps Marylanders keep precious assets in their pockets and recover damages for illegal business actions. Civil Justice offers free representation to tenants facing debt collection by their former landlords in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Anne Arundel County. Low bono, and contingency fee assistance is available statewide for those experiencing debt collection violations, credit reporting errors, and other unlawful actions including illegal evictions. 

 Civil Justice (CJ) has launched the Foreclosure Legal Advice Program. Homeowners facing foreclosure, who do not have legal representation, may obtain free legal consultations with an attorney experienced with Maryland foreclosure law. CJ connects households, in all Maryland counties and Baltimore City, to foreclosure resources. Based on the unique circumstance of the household, CJ connects them with housing counselors, organizations offering free legal help, and/or CJ’s statewide network of affordable foreclosure defense attorneys.   

CJ also offers the Title Tune-up program for households denied a loan modification and/or mortgage assistance for not being the title holder. The Title Tune-up program provides households free legal advice and representation for households to acquire a clear title to their home. 

Attorneys assist with the completion of family law (domestic relations) court forms. This service is open to the public, without charge and without screening for income.

KIND helps immigrant and refugee children who come to the United States without a parent or legal guardian. Most are fleeing pervasive narco-trafficking, human trafficking, and gang violence in Central America—El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala—from which their governments cannot or will not protect them. Others are fleeing severe abuse including sexual and gender-based violence, which includes rape, sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, domestic violence, and forced or early marriage. A number have been abandoned or have lost their caregivers. The children range in age from toddlers to teenagers. The large majority of children KIND serves are from Central America, but KIND has been referred children from 74 different countries. KIND provides attorneys to represent children at no cost.

Immigration judges are 100 times more likely to grant legal relief to unaccompanied children with counsel than to those without. Without a fair chance to make their case, children who need and deserve protection can be sent back to grave harm.

KIND partners with law firms, corporation, bar associations, and law schools which agree to represent children referred to us at no cost. KIND provides training and mentorship–no immigration experience is necessary. KIND’s social services coordinators help children referred to us with their non-legal needs, including counseling and school enrollment.
