Invest in Justice

For more than a century, Legal Aid and Defender Association, Inc. has stood with people when a civil legal problem threatened their home, income, health or future. Founded in 1909, LADA is Michigan's oldest provider of free civil legal assistance to low-income residents. Its attorneys, paralegals and legal support staff serve people across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties who cannot afford an attorney.

During the past three years, LADA provided legal assistance to more than 5,600 community residents. 3,900 tenants were represented in court cases and many others received essential legal advice. It also provided services to more than 680 veterans.

Why Sponsorship Matters

LADA helps prevent eviction and foreclosure, assists veterans facing instability, and works with people seeking record expungement so they can pursue housing and employment. When residents can remain safely housed, maintain essential income and overcome barriers to opportunity, families are more stable and communities throughout Southeast Michigan are stronger.

A 2027 sponsorship provides year-round support for this work. Every sponsor will receive logo recognition on LADA's website, in its quarterly newsletter and on signage at LADA events.
