Free & Reduced Cost Lawyers

The Justice Center does not have attorneys on staff. The Find-a-Lawyer program works exclusively with attorneys who practice in El Paso and Teller Counties of Colorado who volunteer their time and expertise to beneficiaries of the 4th Judicial District.

Our Projects

The Find a Lawyer Program consists of two projects:

• Pro Bono Publico (free) Project: for clients living in a household with an income that does not exceed 200% of the current Federal Poverty Line

• Modest Means (reduced fee) Project: for clients living in a household with an income that is over twice but does not exceed 275% of the current Federal Poverty Line

Priority List
Due to the high demand for legal representation through our Find-a-Lawyer program, applicants who fall into the following groups will be prioritized for placement:

• Honorably Discharged Veterans of the US Military

• Active-Duty Members of the US Military

• Dependents of Honorable Discharged Veterans and Active-Duty Members of the US Military

• Survivors of Family Violence

• Individuals with Landlord/Tenant issues

• Individuals with Disabilities

• Senior Citizens
