Why Legal Action?

Legal Action of Wisconsin helps thousands of low-income clients navigate a path forward to a better life. Our clients are ordinary and resilient people facing a multitude of challenges few of us could handle on our own. They’re among the over half a million people in Wisconsin who can’t afford the civil legal services they need. We support clients in protecting their livelihoods, health and safety, housing, and their families. We’re fierce advocates fighting to remove barriers to civil justice through free legal aid and systemic change – all the way to the highest levels of the courts and legislative system. Join us in our fight for equal access to justice through a career at Legal Action!

We are committed to innovative and creative legal work, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, and many employees are eligible for loan forgiveness.

Here is what our staff has to say:

“Working for one of the largest and most powerful law firms allows us to pursue litigation to the highest levels of the court system based on merit and not ability of clients to pay.”

“We have the freedom to take risks and develop the law. You can do good work, and have a good life outside of work”

“Legal Action is the best place to work as a civil public interest attorney in the state.”

“You get to see the results of your work. It’s great to visit a client in their home and know that the family will stay in the home because of the work you did. It’s great to win a benefits case and get a ‘thank you’ voice mail when your client can afford his prescription. And, it’s great to win a worker rights case and know that your work will prevent future workplace abuses.”
