"There can be no equal justice where the kind of trial a man gets depends on the amount of money he has."
United States Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black
Griffin v. Illinois 351 U.S. 12, 19 (1956)
In Middletown Iowa, the residents of a mobile home park were being evicted from their housing. [We] collaborated with Iowa Legal Aid to get a satisfactory settlement for these residents. If not for Iowa Legal Aid these folks definitely would have been homeless.

I was blessed to be given the gift of a second chance at a domestic abuse free lifestyle, all because of the help of your staff. My children and I are forever thankful.

Without legal aid, I would be alone. My lawyer took care of all my needs and took time to understand my case.

I was taking care of my wife, who has Alzheimers, at home. It got to be too much and we had to go to a nursing home, later they tried to discharge my wife. I could never have afforded a lawyer to fight these people, that's how I came in contact with Iowa Legal Aid and I will ever be thankful for that.
