UAW Legal Services Plan - Detroit, MI

Exclusive Legal Protection for Auto Workers

The UAW-FCA-Ford-General Motors Legal Services Plan is a specialized legal benefit provider located in Detroit, Michigan. Created through the collective bargaining power of the United Auto Workers (UAW), this office serves active and retired members of the ”Big Three” automakers: Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis (formerly FCA). The mission of the Legal Services Plan is to provide high-quality, affordable legal representation to union members and their families. This is not a public law firm; it is an exclusive benefit designed to handle the personal legal needs of the working class. Whether you are buying a home, drafting a will, or fighting a traffic ticket, the Plan connects eligible members with experienced staff attorneys and cooperating lawyers who understand their unique needs. By removing the financial barrier to legal counsel, the Plan ensures that auto workers have a voice in the legal system.

Rivertown Headquarters

Its location offers a quieter, accessible alternative to the congestion of the central business district while remaining close to downtown courts and administrative offices.
