Clients meeting at the Milwaukee Justice Center

Sometimes, the best of Milwaukee can be hiding in a basement. Witness the Milwaukee Justice Center’s home on the G9 lower floor of the Milwaukee County Courthouse. The Milwaukee Justice Center (MJC) serves self-represented litigants to access the justice system even if they cannot afford an attorney or do not qualify for legal aid.

This is where the MJC steps in, offering free civil legal aid services for low-income people in Milwaukee County.
