| Who We Are |
Born of the vision of Reverend J. Michael Little, Senior Pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, and his belief that, "above all, the poor must have access to justice," and in partnership with the nationally renowned law firm, Kirkland& Ellis, LLP, Jeremiah's Circle of Friends Legal Clinic offers low-income residents of Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia free legal services in a variety of civil matters, including family, housing, employment, consumer, immigration, and public benefits law.
JCF also provides free mediation to help disputing parties resolve their own conflicts quickly, confidentially, and without the time and expense of going to court.
