Our Mission
To promote legal wellness in communities across Illinois.
What is “Legal Wellness?”
Legal Wellness is the state of being informed and empowered around how the law could impact your life.
What is a “Legal Check-Up?”
A Legal Check-Up is just like a health check-up, but for the law. A legal professional will ask you a series of questions designed to identify potential areas of concern before they worsen.
What types of things do you ask about?
We ask about six major areas where the law most commonly holds people back:
Citizenship/Immigration
Housing
Debt/Taxes/Finances
Family/Safety
Employment/Public Benefits/Criminal Records
Future Planning (“estate planning”)
66% of Americans will face a justice issue in the next 4 years*
92% of these issues will receive no legal assistance.**

Don’t let the law hold you back.
