Maryland Legal Aid sues Baltimore City over unconstitutional tax sale auctions that strip wealth from low-income residents. This lawsuit is not just about ECO’s loss, but the wider injustice faced by many in our community through a system that strips homeowners of their equity and generational wealth without fair compensation-all for a miniscule return to the City. We are fighting to ensure that our community’s rights are protected and to bring about systemic changes that will benefit all low-income Marylanders.

About us
Maryland Legal Aid (MLA) is a statewide private, nonprofit law firm that provides free, civil legal services to low-income and vulnerable people to address their most fundamental legal problems. From its 12 offices around the state and through its many community-based clinics, we help our clients preserve and access safe and affordable housing, maintain custody of their children, and be safe from domestic violence. MLA increases our clients’ economic security by defending against consumer debt, including foreclosures and tax sales, removing barriers to employment, and accessing critical income supports such as unemployment, food stamps and other vital public benefits. Through special projects, we represent seniors, nursing home residents, children in alleged abuse and neglect cases, migrant farmworkers, and those in mental health institutions. In its advocacy, MLA seeks systemic change through impact litigation, policy advocacy, and storytelling.
