Who We Are
Legal Action of Wisconsin is a non-profit law firm that provides civil legal aid for low-income individuals. Since 1968, Legal Action has been providing justice for those who cannot afford an attorney. With offices in six cities, Legal Action serves 39 southern Wisconsin counties with 55 staff attorneys and about 50 support staff. From its Oshkosh office, Legal Action serves a 10-county service area, including Adams, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Marquette, Sheboygan, Outagamie, Ozaukee, Washington, Waushara, and Winnebago. Legal Action's work is funded by many different public and private sources, including the federally-funded Legal Services Corporation, and has hundreds of active volunteer attorneys who supplement, enhance, and support our staff attorneys' case work.
What We Do
Legal Action of Wisconsin serves our most vulnerable neighbors – people who desperately need a lawyer but can’t afford one. We bring hope and justice when it is needed most. Legal Action’s services are provided free of charge to clients because equal justice should have no price tag for low-income people. Civil legal problems have a critical impact on the individual and the community. Our legal work prevents people from going hungry and from becoming homeless. We help family violence and elder abuse victims be safe and independent. We obtain income, medical insurance, and licenses for workers. Low-income persons can best achieve equal justice by having a lawyer represent them. We provide high quality legal services– just as if our clients had the means to pay for their attorney. We are committed to improving and changing the systems that affect many people. When our clients' need an attorney most- we are here.
Equal justice. Everyone. Every day.
