Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. (Psalm 82:3)

The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one. He was appalled that there was no one to intervene. (Isaiah 59:11)


“Urban families in low-income areas of the Phila region have nowhere to turn for solutions to their legal problems.  As Christian attorneys, we have valuable gifts that are a great help to those in need.  By working with inner city ministries, we help them shine the light of Christ in the city of brotherly love.”

—Peter M. Hileman, Esquire,
President of CLCP

“Our community has been blessed by this very crucial ministry, which has helped many low-income people practically, emotionally and spiritually. People in our area, because of financial limitations, have difficulty obtaining quality legal representation, resulting in many unresolved legal issues. We highly recommend the clinic to anyone who seeks to support a just legal system among the poor in the city.”

—Pastor Manny Ortiz and Elders,
Spirit and Truth Fellowship Church,
Hunting Park
