Legal Aid at Work promotes the rights and economic self-sufficiency of low-wage workers and marginalized communities through free legal services, education, and advocacy at the local, state, and national level. Using the law as a tool, we help low-wage workers create the best possible future for themselves and their families.

We help our clients and our community by providing a wide range of services, including limited and full legal representation; pre-litigation resolutions; representation before administrative and governmental entities; expert testimony before legislative bodies; and technical support.
