Lawyers for Civil Rights provides representation, advice, and referrals primarily for residents of Massachusetts and surrounding communities who experience discrimination or harassment in employment, housing, education, or voting. We also provide free legal support to qualifying entrepreneurs and small businesses.

We only handle cases with civil rights implications. We do not handle: criminal cases, divorce or custody matters, personal injury claims, medical malpractice, individual eviction or family law cases.
