Mission Statement
Family Legal Care’s mission is to increase access to justice in New York State Family Court. We combine legal guidance, easy-to-access technology, and compassionate support to help unrepresented parents and caregivers self-advocate on critical family law issues, while working on reform that improves the system for everyone.
About This Cause
In 1996 three young lawyers fresh out of law school started their careers in the New York Family Court system, and immediately saw how people without their own lawyer struggled to get justice. In response to this inequity, Karen Simmons, Liberty Aldrich, and Leslie Abbey decided to take action. They brought a folding table into the New York Family Court building and stationed themselves to answer questions and offer guidance. The demand was tremendous, with hundreds of people seeking their help within the first few weeks. Today, Family Legal Care provides innovative, award-winning family legal services, all of which share the goal of promoting positive outcomes for families and children.
