Community Justice Advocate Directory

Each Community Justice Advocate and their agency have unique eligibility requirements. To find out if you qualify to receive services from a CJA, please contact the advocate directly. CJAU can not make eligibility determinations.

If no contact information is listed for the advocate, please contact the agency using information provided on the agency's website.

This service is provided by an Alternative Legal Provider (ALP) who is not a lawyer. ALPs are not subject to the same rules as lawyers. For more information, click here.
