Championing Justice for Low-Income Coloradans
100 Years of Legal Advocacy
Colorado Legal Services (CLS) is a statewide non-profit organization headquartered in Denver, dedicated to providing high-quality civil legal assistance to low-income individuals and seniors. With roots dating back to 1925, CLS has spent a century fighting for the rights of the most vulnerable members of society. The firm operates with a clear mission: to ensure that meaningful access to the courts is a reality for everyone, not just those who can afford a private attorney. Located in the North Capitol Hill area, the Denver office serves as the central hub for a network of legal aid professionals who handle critical cases involving basic human needs. If you are facing eviction, escaping domestic violence, or struggling with debt, finding a lawyer through CLS can be the difference between despair and stability.
CLS attorneys are experts in poverty law, handling complex cases that affect the daily survival of their clients. They provide a range of services from advice and brief counsel to full representation in court. The organization is particularly known for its work in Housing Law, preventing homelessness by defending against unjust evictions. They also have specialized units for Migrant Farm Workers and survivors of human trafficking, ensuring that marginalized populations have a voice. If you urgently need a lawyer to protect your home, your family, or your health benefits, Colorado Legal Services offers the experienced and compassionate advocacy you deserve.
