Legal Aid Society

Legal Aid & Advocacy · Maryland · Free

National hub of legal aid societies — find your local legal aid office. A starting point for asylum seekers fleeing anti-LGBTQ+ persecution who need pro-bono representation. Pro-bono representation is common for high-impact civil rights cases; volunteer attorneys take individual cases too. Some states still have anti-LGBTQ+ adoption restrictions for religious agencies; private secular agencies are usually safer. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Maryland residents and allies.
