Who We Are
Justice Bridge is a community of lawyers dedicated to providing legal services to persons and businesses that do not qualify for free legal services but cannot afford standard market rates. All of the attorneys in our network are members in good standing of the Massachusetts bar.
Justice Bridge is not a law firm. It is a network of lawyers striving to provide meaningful legal help within their clients’ ability to pay. We have offices in downtown Boston and New Bedford.
OUR VISION
We believe the U.S. legal system was established to protect everyone's rights. That is why the lawyers who work with the Justice Bridge Legal Center provide professional legal advice at reduced rates for people with modest incomes. We offer a range of legal expertise. Lawyers work with their clients to provide the best possible services within their budgets.Â
RESTORING HOPE
Our Executive Director, Len Zandrow, emphasizes that Justice Bridge Legal Center is about restoring hope—for attorneys desiring autonomy in their law practices and for individuals fearing that legal advice is beyond their means. We operate on the zeal of our attorneys, leverage the latest in technology, draw from the experience of over 80 mentors averaging over 30 years of legal experience, and foster a collaborative spirit within our community.
BRIDGING THE GAP
Most of our Justice Bridge attorneys are certified in limited-scope representation. They may be able to represent you in limited stages in your legal proceeding – those stages having the most potential impact on your legal matter. They might draft certain legal documents, handle individual court appearances or negotiations, or just coach you to represent yourself.
IMPACTFUL INITIATIVES
Justice Bridge Legal Center strives to coordinate with bar associations, legal service providers, law firms, and community organizations to deliver quality, affordable representation. Our incubator serves as a laboratory for research into best practices, trends, and resources, creating an economically viable model for the delivery of legal services to moderate-means clients.
UMASS LAW COMMITMENT
Established in 2010, UMass Law is the only public law school in Massachusetts, focusing on providing a high-quality, affordable legal education that creates justice-centered lawyers. We're committed to increasing diversity in the legal profession and encouraging community engagement through clinics and internships.
Join us at Justice Bridge Legal Center, where the journey to justice is a collaborative effort, creating lasting impacts on lives and communities.
