Company Profile
Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid
Company Overview
Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid is an urban-rural program serving 20 counties of central Minnesota – including Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis -- on poverty law issues and statewide service on disability law through the Minnesota Disability Law Center (MDLC), the state’s protection and advocacy system for Minnesotans with disabilities. Its service area runs from the Wisconsin to the South Dakota borders.
In addition, MMLA includes Legal Services State Support, a statewide project that provides CLE training for Minnesota’s legal aid system and manages three websites: a public resource website for clients, a support website for pro bono attorneys, and an online advice website. MMLA also includes the Legal Services Advocacy Project, which advocates at the legislature for policies to assist Minnesotans from low-income backgrounds.
For more than 100 years, MMLA has provided a full range of client services to protect people’s most basic civil and human rights, including class actions and legislative representation. Substantive practice areas include housing, public benefits, family, consumer, senior law, youth law, tax, and immigration. While much of this work is done from the MMLA offices, there are multiple medical/legal partnerships and other community-based partnerships which site attorneys in locations accessed by clients. MMLA has experienced staff and program leadership amongst its seven offices.
