About us
Maryland Legal Aid (MLA) is a statewide private, nonprofit law firm that provides free, civil legal services to low-income and vulnerable people to address their most fundamental legal problems. From its 12 offices around the state and through its many community-based clinics, we help our clients preserve and access safe and affordable housing, maintain custody of their children, and be safe from domestic violence. MLA increases our clients’ economic security by defending against consumer debt, including foreclosures and tax sales, removing barriers to employment, and accessing critical income supports such as unemployment, food stamps and other vital public benefits. Through special projects, we represent seniors, nursing home residents, children in alleged abuse and neglect cases, migrant farmworkers, and those in mental health institutions. In its advocacy, MLA seeks systemic change through impact litigation, policy advocacy, and storytelling.

Maryland Legal Aid reposted this
While a lot of awful, dark, ludicrous things happened this week that we cannot take our eyes off of, something amazing also went down. Baltimore renters banded together as a tenant association and filed a lawsuit against their big multi-state landlord. They did this with courage and determination over the course of *months*. And I had the privilege of standing beside them as they led their press conference on Wednesday, picking up coverage in The Sun, The Banner, WBAL, WYPR, and the Capital Gazette. I was also filled with pride for the attorneys and outreach staff who have led Maryland Legal Aid's work with the tenants. This team started as Equal Justice Works fellows (h/t to Laura Roach!), and it is truly special to see their development leading up to a big advocacy moment. Congrats to the Historic Sharp Leadenhall Tenant Council and to Caroline, Annie, Avery, and Natali!
