Affordable Justice for All
Community Justice Inc. (CJI) is a pioneering non-profit law firm founded in 2005 with a clear mission: to bridge the justice gap for low-income and working families. Understanding that many individuals earn too much to qualify for free legal aid but cannot afford standard private attorney rates, CJI offers high-quality legal representation on a sliding scale fee structure based on income. Their dedicated team of attorneys believes that financial status should never determine one’s access to justice, providing compassionate and effective advocacy in the courtroom and beyond.
Family Law and Domestic Safety
CJI’s primary practice focuses on stabilizing families through expert legal counsel. They handle a wide array of sensitive matters, including:
- Divorce and Legal Separation: Guiding clients through the dissolution of marriage with a focus on fair outcomes.
- Child Custody and Support: Advocating for the best interests of children and ensuring financial stability.
- Restraining Orders: providing critical protection for victims of domestic abuse and harassment.
- Guardian ad Litem: Serving as court-appointed advocates for children in complex family disputes.
Housing and Bankruptcy
Beyond family law, the firm protects the basic needs of its clients. They offer defense in landlord/tenant disputes, helping to prevent eviction and challenge unfair housing practices. For those facing insurmountable financial debt, CJI provides representation in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings, helping individuals achieve a fresh financial start. The firm also assists with simple wills and powers of attorney, ensuring that every client can plan for the future with dignity.
