The mission of The Children’s Law Center ("CLC") is to provide children with a strong and effective voice in legal proceedings that have a critical impact on children’s lives. CLC represents children in custody/visitation, guardianship, domestic violence and connected child protective cases.
At CLC, our core values are:
• to provide high quality representation;
• to provide children with supportive, informed and passionate advocates who give voice to their unique needs
Our Client Values are:
• Communicate our client’s voice
• High quality representation
• Integrate legal representation with social work
• Listen to our clients
• Develop the client’s sense of participation
How Can I Help?
The most direct and immediate way to help the children we represent at CLC is to provide financial support so that our attorneys and social workers can continue their vital work on critical issues that impact the lives of thousands of children involved in the court system.
Contested custody, visitation and guardianship cases can be extremely traumatic for a child. Due to the elimination, or lack of availability of critical therapeutic and parenting services, and an overburdened Family Court, CLC’s clients benefit from our advocacy more than ever before.
