Description of Organization

Christian Legal Aid of DC (CLADC) is a nonprofit organization that exists to provide access to justice with the love of Christ. We provide free legal services to our neighbors in the DC area who cannot afford to hire an attorney, and as a result, do not have equal access to justice. In everything we do, Jesus is our ultimate hope, and our services are rooted in prayer for our clients and city.

CLADC began in 2007 when a group of Christian attorneys came together to put their faith in action. Since then, CLADC has experienced significant growth in contribution revenue, a growing staff and volunteer base, a broader network of community and church partners, recognized legal expertise, stronger internal systems, and most importantly, a significant increase in legal services to low-income clients. In 2023, CLADC served more than 600 clients with legal needs across our core practice areas (housing, Social Security benefits, criminal record sealing, probate, and estate planning).
