Justice Locally, Impact Globally.
Advocates for Community & Transformative Justice ("ACT Just") is transforming the face of justice in Massachusetts. We are here to provide legal services to families and individuals who do not qualify for pro bono services and are also unable to afford traditional private practitioner fees. We invite you to ask us whether you qualify for our sliding scale fee structure.
Mission
Our mission is to create access to affordable legal representation. We work with those confronting legal challenges and hardships and strive to be positive agents for change in the community and the world at large.
Options for Fee Arrangements
We work at a price point that a modest means client can afford by taking into consideration the client's income and household size. We aim to provide a number of options to best suit your individual needs.Areas of Practice
