Serving on the Junior Board for Family Legal Care has been an incredibly rewarding and informative experience. We have learned the potential difficulties with navigating the family court system and have seen first-hand how Family Legal Care helps clear the way for families during these most difficult times in their lives.

Diana Acosta, Senior Managing Counsel and Senior Vice President, Popular Bank

I’ve had firsthand experience witnessing the devastation lower income families face in court when they cannot afford lawyers. Family Legal Care helps these individuals educate themselves so they can self-represent in court, better understand their rights, and get the best possible outcomes for their families.
