What we Do

ANDREWS LEGAL AID SERVICES (ALAS) is a Texas and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides pro bono and low bono legal services, such as seminars, clinics and legal representation. ALAS was founded with a clear mission: to provide legal services to those not only unable to afford counsel or otherwise obtain counsel, but to further education, engagement and empowerment in navigating various legal issues, rights and remedies. Our services are aimed at those who are in need of legal aid but lack the knowledge and financial resources to pursue a matter that, if pursued would benefit the community and/or the public and common good.

ALAS target those who have been turned away by other legal aid organizations due to conflicts of interest, limited resources of the organization or the classic person living paycheck to paycheck who, while exceeding the income eligibility for normal legal aid services, does not make nearly enough to afford to retain a traditional law firm to advocate on their behalf.

ALAS believes that the right to representation extends beyond solely the realm of criminal law and should not be only be available to those making a substantial amount or very little, but those in between as well.
