Since 1934, we have believed that poverty shouldn’t prevent access to justice. Everyone, regardless of income, deserves the highest quality legal counsel.
Due to the city’s snow emergency, our office will be closed this Monday. Hit the link below for further assistance.

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a steadfast advocate for justice, equality, and the power of community. ✊🏽✨
His work inspires us daily in our mission to defend the rights of those most in need. Let’s continue to strive for a fairer, more just society.

Meeting the moment means expanding defense.⚖️✨
We’ve launched a new Immigration Unit to protect immigrant communities across Philadelphia — led by immigration attorney Lilah Thompson and supported by an incredible network of partners, including @phlcouncil, @nscphila, @hiaspennsylvania, and @vamos_juntos_.
Grateful for the support. Ready for the work. Tap the link in our bio to read our coverage with @phillyinquirer and learn more about our newest unit.

What we’re seeing isn’t random, it’s a pattern. Fabricated evidence. Fatal shootings. Misused public funds. And more than 130 drug cases were dismissed because officers repeatedly lied under oath while the officers involved still have their jobs.
This isn’t about isolated incidents or a few bad apples. It’s what happens when accountability is optional and systems protect themselves instead of the people.
Philly deserves better. Our communities deserve better. Check out @phillyinquirer editorial on why real police accountability is long overdue. Link in bio🔗

This year, we showed up in courtrooms, neighborhoods, and policy spaces across the city, fighting for fairness, dignity, and due process every step of the way.
Thank you to our defenders, staff, and partners for standing in the gap and doing the work that justice requires this year.
