2010 was a year of challenges for the community and Legal Aid. However, even in the midst of challenges, we find reason to hope. Legal Aid - planting hope.

As you read about our accomplishments and supporters of 2009, we invite you to consider how YOU can make a difference in the lives of those in need in our community.

Invest in justice - invest in Legal Aid.

In 2008, Community Legal Aid Services helped over 35,000 people who had immediate legal needs but could not afford an attorney. Our 2008 annual report focuses on our priorities in helping these people.

In 2007, Community Legal Aid touched the lives of nearly 30,000 central northeast Ohioans. Every day we solve legal problems, secure justice and dramatically change lives.

Each year, tens of thousands come to Community Legal Aid for help. They come because we are their only hope. Providing access to justice in civil matters for people with no means to hire an attorney is a tall order. It requires expertise, imagination, elbow grease, cooperation and financial support.
