Low-Income Legal Clinic

Our firm is committed to pro bono legal service with our dollars and our attorney time. In 1991, Schwabe became the founder, and provided the funding for, a low-income legal clinic which serves the Hispanic population in east Multnomah County. Every year since, attorneys from our firm have volunteered their time to help these low-income clients in our offices on a weekly basis.

Today the program is coordinated in partnership with the Oregon Law Center, an independent nonprofit organization that provides staff assistance and Spanish translation services to our volunteer attorneys.

Our attorneys provide substantial legal assistance to help more than 100 pro bono clients per year get their homes back, address automobile obligation and collections issues, and solve problems relating to individual civil rights.

We also support a similar low-income legal clinic in Seattle, The Legal Action Center, with funding and volunteer efforts from our Seattle office attorneys.

If you are low income and need assistance with your legal problem, please contact the Oregon Law Center at 503-295-2760, Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The law center will listen to your legal issue and schedule an interview if they can help. If not, they will refer you to organizations that may be able to help you. You can also click here for a partial legal services directory.
