The Just Advice Project

Provides brief legal advice including expungements

Rebuild, Overcome, and Rise (ROAR) Center at University of MD, Baltimore

Provides a range of Free Legal Services for victims of crime. You don’t need to have reported the crime to the police to get help.

ROAR’s staff of attorneys, paralegal, social workers, and a community health nurse manager work collaboratively to aid survivors of crime and violence in Baltimore City attain “justice”, autonomy, and self-worth, as defined and directed by them. ROAR provides free legal, social work, counseling/therapy, and nurse care management services. ROAR is committed to being low-barrier, trauma-informed, trauma-responsive, and victim-defined. A survivor of crime does not have to have filed a police report to receive services from ROAR. ROAR has no immigration status restrictions and serves people who make less than $70,000 per year plus an additional $5k per year for each dependent. We assist people who do not have IDs, who have criminal backgrounds, and those for whom a warrant may be outstanding.
