Other Legal Representation
Consistent with the CLCM’s dedication to holistic representation for its clients
— tending to the legal needs of the “whole child” — agency lawyers also try to provide legal aid to children in areas of the law that do not fall within those primary substantive areas referenced above. These cases can include, but are not limited to, advocating for victims of domestic violence; representing youth in guardianship of minors or incapacitated persons cases before the Probate and Family courts; assisting youth in other family law matters such as paternity or child support actions; and, providing legal aid to secure health, mental health, or insurance assistance.
