NSLAC is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2015 that provides accessible, quality pro-bono legal services in the areas of immigration, housing, and domestic violence to low-income, at-risk individuals and families in suburban Cook and Lake County.
During the pandemic, NSLAC experienced a massive increase in cases across the domestic violence, tenant-side housing, and immigration spectrum. Since its inception, the clinic has helped over 1,100 people in need stay in their homes, gain legal immigration status, or escape abusive relationships. The organization continues to expand partnerships as well as provide educational opportunities for all.
Swanson, Martin & Bell, LLP proudly supports their efforts to ensure that individuals and families are able to access our justice system and go on to live productive and secure lives. Partner Jonna McGinley Reilly began volunteering at NSLAC in 2019 and has continued to support them since that time.
