Kids Matter Inc.: Legal Advocacy for Vulnerable Youth
Protecting Children and Empowering Caregivers
Kids Matter Inc. is a vital non-profit organization in Milwaukee dedicated to improving the lives of abused, neglected, and at-risk children. While not a traditional private law firm, we are a specialized legal services agency that provides direct representation and advocacy. If you need to find a guardianship lawyer or assistance with foster care legalities, our team of staff attorneys and volunteers is here to help. We are the only agency in Wisconsin providing non-GAL civil legal services specifically for children and informal kinship families.
Our mission is to ensure that every child has a safe and permanent home. We support grandparents, relatives, and foster parents who step up to care for children when biological parents cannot. We navigate the complex child welfare system so you can focus on what matters most: the well-being of the child.
- Guardianship: Legal assistance for relatives seeking legal authority to care for children.
- Foster Care Advocacy: Helping families understand their rights and access necessary resources.
- Victim Advocacy: Support for children who have been victims of crime or violence.
- Social Services: Connecting families with healthcare, education, and trauma-informed counseling.
Community-Based Legal Support
We understand that the legal system can be intimidating, especially for families in crisis. If you are looking to hire a family lawyer but face financial barriers, Kids Matter Inc. offers programs to assist eligible caregivers. Our Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program also trains volunteers to speak up for children in court, ensuring their best interests are heard.
Located in Historic Bronzeville
