We all need a helping hand sometimes. That’s never truer than when faced with a challenging legal situation that can leave us in a panic — especially without the financial means to afford a lawyer. That’s why organizations like DeKalb Pro Bono exist — to help provide low-income individuals with equal access to legal support and assistance.

Do you need assistance dealing with a landlord or real estate situation and facing possible homelessness? Are you struggling with a divorce, child custody issue, child support enforcement, or intimate partner violence? Is there an estate planning or probate issue weighing on your mind? Are you facing debt or bankruptcy?

DeKalb Pro Bono has the resources to empower you in these life-changing legal matters.

Client Testimonials

Genet Hopewell (Volunteer Attorney)

“The impact of this organization in our community is just immeasurable. It is like a shelter in the storm for many people who would otherwise not have access to basic services that are necessary to live a safe and secure life. What I have learned as a volunteer is that there is not one story or any certain type of person that the organization serves. People come from all different stations, and all different places in life, but what they have in common is that they are facing significant domestic problems. And they need help in navigating through a legal system that is often complicated and very intimidating.”
