At Rising for Justice, we believe everyone deserves justice – today, tomorrow and always. We help all D.C. residents who need legal representation in matters such as housing, criminal defense, civil protection orders, immigration, and more. We do not charge for our services.

We are actively accepting clients in three matters: housing, expungement, and civil protection orders. There is no cost to qualifying individuals. Click on the corresponding program area to learn how we can help.

“Just knowing that you were on our side I never thought about losing the case. From the bottom of my heart I just thank God that you were there to help me when I had no one else to turn to.”
