Making Family Law More Accessible: Introducing Our Legal Assistance Program

court

At Evolve Family Law, we advocate that having accessible legal support is essential, especially during life’s most challenging moments. However, for many individuals, financial barriers can make it difficult to get the guidance they need.

That’s why we are proud to introduce our Legal Assistance Program, a new initiative designed to provide affordable, compassionate legal support to those in our community who need it most.

What is the Legal Assistance Program?

Our mission is simple: to make family law services more accessible to individuals with lower incomes. We’ve identified a significant gap between those who don’t qualify for Legal Aid and those who can afford standard legal fees for full representation. Even for those who do qualify for pro bono services, these programs are often overburdened and unable to provide the level of legal support many people need.

Through a sliding-scale fee structure and transparent flat-rate pricing, we are committed to reducing financial obstacles and ensuring that everyone has access to quality legal support.

Eligible individuals will be screened for acceptance and then triaged based on urgency. Our team will handle cases to provide efficient and effective service.

At Evolve Family Law, we believe that financial limitations shouldn't stand in the way of quality legal support. Our new family law assistance program offers affordable, flat-rate services on a sliding scale, ensuring that lower-income individuals can access the guidance they need. I’m thrilled to launch this initiative and help make justice more accessible for our community.

How the Program Works

To ensure efficiency and fairness, our program follows a structured approach:

  • Application Review: Conducted once or twice a week as needed. Expect to hear from our office withing 5 business days unless your matter is urgent.
  • Initial Consultations & ongoing calls: Held weekly and scheduled on specific days after applications are accepted (except urgent cases).
  • Meetings/Document Signings: Available on designated days at the lawyer’s discretion. 
  • TBD: Legal Information Sessions: Potentially offered in clinic-style sessions on select afternoons or evenings.

This structure allows us to serve more clients while maintaining efficiency and accessibility.

How is this different from regular clients?

Regular clients still benefit from our flat-fee pricing but don’t have access to the sliding scale fees
