OVERVIEW
Florida Justice Center is a nonprofit legal aid organization. Like many legal aid organizations in Florida, our services are charged on a reduced fee sliding scale depending on Federal Poverty Guidelines.
We strive to provide free services to those most in need. At this time we are unable to do so without donations to cover those costs. We all have to do our part to make society a better, and more equitable place. Consider donating at FLJC.org/Donate
A few of the many legal aid organizations providing reduced-cost services include Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, those on this list from the American Bar Association, and Southern Legal Counsel.
