About us
Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid (MMLA) is a nonprofit law firm, providing free legal advice and representation on civil law matters to people of limited income, people with disabilities and people 60+ years of age. Our mission is to advocate for the legal rights of the vulnerable and disadvantaged so that they may enjoy safe, healthy, and independent lives in strong communities. MMLA’s goal is to live out its mission by achieving meaningful improvement in the lives of as many clients as possible each year. MMLA accomplishes this goal by providing direct legal advice and representation to individual clients, engaging in policy advocacy to achieve systemic change at all levels of government, developing collaborations with community organizations also serving MMLA's clients, and providing outreach and legal education to clients, organizations, and the community. MMLA’s most important stakeholders are the clients and the client communities that it serves. Its day-to-day activities are determined and driven by the needs and requests of the clients who come to us in search of help. MMLA provides legal advice and representation to people with low incomes in 20 counties in central Minnesota through offices in Minneapolis, St. Cloud and Willmar. It provides services in the following areas of law: housing, family, government benefits, disability, health, seniors, youth, consumer, immigration, and tax. MMLA also includes three statewide programs: - Minnesota Disability Law Center, which gives legal help to people with disabilities throughout Minnesota on legal issues relating to their disabilities; - Legal Services Advocacy Project, which engages in policy advocacy on issues affecting people with low incomes; - Legal Services State Support, which provides poverty law trainings to legal services and pro bono practitioners, and develops technology-based legal resources for the public and volunteer attorneys.

Many thanks to KARE 11 Danny Spewak for calling attention to the plight of Legal Aid clients who say life in their mobile home park has been miserable. We're working to change that by filing a class action lawsuit with our partners at Robins Kaplan LLP. When you support Legal Aid, you're ensuring the law is on the side of clients who are low-income, elderly, some living with disabilities, some who are veterans — all deserving justice. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/g6zsAx3X

Immense gratitude to Robins Kaplan LLP. Their attorneys are teaming again with Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid. This time to seek justice for the residents of a mobile home park in Sartell, Minnesota. Since out-of-state owners took over, our clients say life has been miserable. We contend conditions could improve markedly if Minnesota laws were followed. Now we're taking legal action to make sure they are. Read about our class action lawsuit. https://bit.ly/4ff8SMj As Legal Aid Attorney Justin Perl says, remember your support of Legal Aid means free legal representation and justice for our most vulnerable neighbors. 🙏🏼 #LegalAid #Justice #StCloud #Sartell

Without question, our legal support assistants, legal secretaries and paralegals like Nadrat and Elizabeth Pulanco are outstanding! "Above and beyond" is the name of their game. Happy #ParalegalWeek to our team at Legal Aid and throughout our legal communities.

We're coming to Mora! Meet Legal Aid Attorney Karla Krueger from our St. Cloud office at the Mora Public Library, Nov. 20. Her talk "Planning for Incapacity" is a good opportunity for everyone, no matter your age, to plan for the future. We're talking health care directives, long-term care plans, power of attorney and more. #LegalAid #SeniorLaw

At Legal Aid, we offer more than legal assistance. Attorneys and staff have both enviable educational and rich cultural backgrounds to make meaningful connections with clients. In observance of Latine Heritage month, Attorney Michelle Gonzalez reflects on what this means to her. "As an immigration attorney whose family came to the U.S. from Mexico and who speaks Spanish, I understand the cultural nuances and challenges many of our clients face when navigating the complexities of the immigration legal system. I believe in Mid-Minnestoa Legal Aid's Immigration Law Project mission to provide access to legal services and representation to all immigrant communities. My upbringing, my culture, and my community give me the drive to do this work. Where we go, that is up to us. As a first-generation college graduate and lawyer in my family, there are barriers many of us face, barriers we will navigate and break through. There will be limitations placed by others, that we must ignore. I hope that the youth feel empowered to know that these career paths are achievable, even if they are the first in their families to do so. I also hope to see more lawyers look like the communities they serve." #LegalAid
