Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide legal help for everyday people - because no one should be denied the right to timely and affordable access to justice.
About This Cause
In 2016, the founders of The Commons Law Center identified an alarming need for affordable civil law services. We found many Oregonians were over-qualified for legal aid services but could not comfortably afford an attorney. We set out to expand access to legal help through education, representation and support for everyday Oregonians. Since then we have provided legal services to over 2000 people in Oregon and expanded our programs in the following ways: We have developed an affordable and accessible legal coaching and limited scope model to empower people facing Family Law issues in divorce and custody. Our Tenant Eviction Defense team, consisting of four attorneys and two paralegals, assists upwards of 80% of the in-person morning eviction docket every week in Multnomah County. We help low-income Oregonians plan for their futures and handle their loved ones’ affairs with our Estate Planning & Probate program. In partnership with the African American Alliance for Homeownership, we offer free estate plans for Black Portlanders. With your support we can fully support & expand our programs and ensure greater access to justice.
