Community Law Center, Inc. Community Law Center provides legal services to nonprofit organizations in Maryland.

Community Law Center is Maryland's only legal services organization dedicated solely to strengthening neighborhoods and the nonprofit sector. Community Law Center partners with neighborhood-led, grassroots, and other nonprofits of all types and sizes in Maryland that lack the financial resources to pay for private legal representation. We match groups in Maryland with staff attorneys or one of over 550 volunteer attorneys ready to help organizations with their legal needs. We can help with startup, organizational restructuring, updating, reviving, contracts, leases, agreements, or any activity you are engaged in to meet your mission. Since our founding 40 years ago, Community Law Center has provided countless hours of free or reduced cost legal services to organizations working to make communities of all kinds stronger and all neighborhoods places you want to call home.
