Description

The Womens Law Center of Maryland was established in 1971 to address the legal needs of women, especially in the area of family law and in the workplace. Through impact litigation and public education, our founders hoped to eliminate discrimination and unfair practices. Although the issues have changed, our vision remains the same a legal system that provides justice and fairness for women. The Judicare program can provide you with a free attorney to represent you in a contested custody case in Baltimore County. The attorney will represent you throughout the case. Attorneys who participate in Judicare are paid a significantly reduced fee by the Womens Law Center. Participation in Judicare is limited to low income individuals. You will be asked to provide proof of your income and will go through a screening process before your case is placed with an attorney. A limited number of program slots are available. Judicare services are available to men and women. To request representation in a case in Baltimore County, call 410-321-8761. The Protection Order Advocacy and Representation Project (POARP) can provide you with a free attorney to represent you in protection order hearings if you have been abused by an intimate partner (current or past boyfriend/girlfriend, current or ex-spouse) and your case is in Baltimore City, Baltimore County or Carroll County. To request a lawyer to represent you or to get more information about the protective order process, contact the POARP office in the county where you are going to court.
