Profile
Equal Justice for All
Colorado Legal Services (CLS) is a non-profit legal aid organization dedicated to providing meaningful access to justice for low-income individuals and vulnerable populations in Colorado Springs and the surrounding counties. Understanding that the legal system can be prohibitively expensive, CLS offers free civil legal assistance to those who qualify, ensuring that poverty is not a barrier to fair treatment under the law. The Colorado Springs office serves a critical role in the community, helping families stay housed, safe, and financially stable. The attorneys and staff at CLS are driven by a passion for public service and a commitment to upholding the dignity of every client. ⚖
Located in the Alamo Corporate Center on South Tejon Street, the office is a lifeline for many residents of El Paso, Teller, and Lincoln counties. CLS focuses on high-priority civil legal matters that affect the basic necessities of life. While they do not handle criminal or traffic cases, their work in family law, housing, and elder law is vital for the community’s well-being. The organization also partners with the Pikes Peak Justice Center and local private attorneys to expand their reach through pro bono programs.
Critical Legal Assistance
Colorado Legal Services provides representation and advice in essential civil areas:
- Housing Law: defending tenants against eviction, addressing unsafe housing conditions, and preserving Section 8 subsidies. 🏠
- Family Safety: Assisting victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking with protection orders and divorce proceedings involving safety concerns.
- Elder Law: Protecting seniors from financial exploitation and assisting with living wills and powers of attorney.
- Consumer Protection: defending against predatory lending, aggressive debt collection, and bankruptcy for qualified individuals.
- Public Benefits: Helping clients access and maintain essential benefits like Medicaid, SNAP, and SSI.
Community Impact
Colorado Legal Services is more than a law firm; it is a community resource. In addition to direct representation, they provide self-help materials and conduct legal clinics to empower individuals to advocate for themselves. Because resources are limited, CLS prioritizes cases with the greatest impact on client safety and stability. If you are facing a civil legal crisis and cannot afford an attorney, Colorado Legal Services offers a pathway to justice and a voice in the courtroom.
