The Street Lawyer is an independent nonprofit organization, funded by donations, public engagement, and government support. We provide free legal aid to vulnerable citizens, people living on the fringes of society who are often overlooked in a system that claims all people are equal under the law.
The marginalized individuals we encounter on the streets are often unaware of their rights—but we are. And we firmly believe that treating people with dignity and respect is always the most effective approach.
We help identify the need for legal assistance to ensure that vulnerable individuals receive what they are entitled to. Through our work, we’ve seen that it can often help motivate people towards a more meaningful life. Legal aid for this group frequently involves navigating multiple authorities and complex, opaque regulations. This is especially challenging when life is already chaotic and overwhelming. That’s why we begin by focusing on the individual’s own needs and desires, and we see every case through to the end.
We believe that caring for our fellow human beings is a shared responsibility, and we are grateful to everyone who helps contribute to ensuring that there is a place for all in the justice system. Reach out to us for more information and legal guidance. Find contact information under 'Kontakt Os'.
