Mountain State Justice Inc – Charleston, WV

Fighting for Justice for Low-Income West Virginians

Mountain State Justice Inc is a prominent non-profit law firm based in Charleston that is dedicated to providing aggressive legal advocacy for low-income families and individuals. Founded in 1996, the organization was created to handle impact litigation and complex cases that ensure access to the civil justice system for the state’s most vulnerable residents. Unlike traditional legal aid, Mountain State Justice focuses on systemic issues, including consumer protection, civil rights, and institutional reform.

Foreclosure and Consumer Defense

One of the firm’s primary missions is protecting homeowners from predatory lending and foreclosure. They have successfully represented hundreds of families in saving their homes from illegal mortgage practices and abusive servicing. The team also fights against debt collection harassment, suing third-party junk debt buyers who violate the law. If you have been the victim of a scam, fraud by a car dealer, or unfair banking practices, Mountain State Justice provides the high-quality legal representation needed to fight back.

Civil Rights and Healthcare Access

Mountain State Justice is also a champion for civil rights and healthcare access. They advocate for children in need of special education services, ensure that prisoners are treated humanely, and fight for the rights of individuals with disabilities to receive community-based care. Their work extends to protecting coal miners’ safety rights and challenging government actions that harm the poor. Because they are a non-profit, their services are often provided at no cost to qualifying clients.
