Mission Statement
The mission of Tacomaprobono Community Lawyers is to combat systemic racism and other forms of discrimination by expanding access to civil legal justice. We provide free holistic legal services, including representation, advice and education to those persons who by reason of poverty are unable to effectively access the legal system. To further this mission, Tacomaprobono develops and manages a wide variety of service delivery programs, including ongoing cooperative work with other legal aid and social service providers. Working collaboratively with these organizations, Tacomaprobono identifies and addresses legal need and barriers to access; makes volunteer, educational and support opportunities available to volunteer attorneys, paralegals and students in Pierce County; and works to remove barriers which deny justice to underserved and marginalized individuals and communities by providing efficient, effective legal services addressing both individual client legal issues and systemic issues affecting our diverse client population.
About This Cause
Tacomaprobono changes lives, fights systemic racism and works against chronic poverty by providing access to timely, effective, professional civil legal aid services for low-income clients. We are focused on providing efficient, dignified solutions to legal issues affecting basic human needs such as housing and family safety. Our board, directors, staff attorneys and paralegals work with our clients, volunteer attorneys and community partners to level the playing field for those in our community who face barriers to successfully accessing the civil justice system. Tacomaprobono’s clients are our neighbors in Pierce County who face legal issues which may deeply affect their lives if not addressed. Our clients cannot afford to hire an attorney, may not be aware that they have a legal issue which can be solved, may not believe that they will be heard, may be afraid to contact a legal aid organization or may not trust the legal system. Tacomaprobono is here for all — all means all. We have income eligibility requirements for many (not all) of our programs but these may be waived if your legal issue is COVID-19-related.
