The Legal Aid Justice Center provides legal representation for low-income individuals in Virginia. Our mission is to serve those in our communities who have the least access to legal resources.  The Legal Aid Justice Center is committed to providing a full range of services to our clients, including services our federal and state governments choose not to fund.

Legal Aid Justice Center's staff of 40 work from offices in Charlottesville, Falls Church, Petersburg and Richmond (read more about our service areas.) Our services do not stop with the resolution of an individual case.  Through local and statewide organizing, education, and advocacy, we also address the root causes of the injustice and exploitation that keep our clients in poverty.

Our organization has deep roots in the communities we serve.  In 2007, we celebrated Legal Aid's 40th anniversary in Charlottesville, and 30th anniversary in Petersburg.  Read about our history, including our 2001 capital campaign to purchase our building in Charlottesville (photo above) and the restoration of the historic Charles B. Holt Rock House.
