About us
Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid (MMLA) is a nonprofit law firm, providing free legal advice and representation on civil law matters to people of limited income, people with disabilities and people 60+ years of age. Our mission is to advocate for the legal rights of the vulnerable and disadvantaged so that they may enjoy safe, healthy, and independent lives in strong communities. MMLA’s goal is to live out its mission by achieving meaningful improvement in the lives of as many clients as possible each year. MMLA accomplishes this goal by providing direct legal advice and representation to individual clients, engaging in policy advocacy to achieve systemic change at all levels of government, developing collaborations with community organizations also serving MMLA's clients, and providing outreach and legal education to clients, organizations, and the community. MMLA’s most important stakeholders are the clients and the client communities that it serves. Its day-to-day activities are determined and driven by the needs and requests of the clients who come to us in search of help. MMLA provides legal advice and representation to people with low incomes in 20 counties in central Minnesota through offices in Minneapolis, St. Cloud and Willmar. It provides services in the following areas of law: housing, family, government benefits, disability, health, seniors, youth, consumer, immigration, and tax. MMLA also includes three statewide programs: - Minnesota Disability Law Center, which gives legal help to people with disabilities throughout Minnesota on legal issues relating to their disabilities; - Legal Services Advocacy Project, which engages in policy advocacy on issues affecting people with low incomes; - Legal Services State Support, which provides poverty law trainings to legal services and pro bono practitioners, and develops technology-based legal resources for the public and volunteer attorneys.
