Justice Legal Center
We provide comprehensive, confidential services to victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and child abuse in the Greater Bridgeport region.
Sometimes individuals and families need legal help, but the expense is something they can’t afford.
If you live with an abuser, and need help with getting a divorce, child custody agreement or obtaining a restraining order, we can help.
Our PBLC attorneys assist clients with restraining order hearings, custody, child support and divorce. Through the PBLC, clients who would have been forced to navigate the family court system on their own, without any legal expertise, are now being connected with the legal services they so desperately need.
Get free help with getting a divorce, child custody agreement and / or obtaining a restraining order.

About the Pro Bono Legal Center (PBLC)
In 2019, IMPACT Fairfield selected CFJ for a grant to launch our Pro Bono Legal Center – which provides free legal assistance to our clients in family law matters. The PBLC ensures that victims are getting the legal assistance they need at no cost, thereby increasing successful court outcomes from their two staff attorneys.
Access to legal support ensures that a victim’s voice is heard, their story is told, and that they can access necessary marital assets in order to become self-sufficient and provide safe and healthy lives for themselves and their children. Most importantly, our attorneys and the PBLC give our clients a voice and hope that there is life beyond their victimization.
