Our Mission Statement

The mission of South Middlesex Legal Services is to provide legal advocacy to protect and advance the rights of the poor, elderly, disabled and other disenfranchised people in our service area (listed below) in obtaining legal, social and economic justice. SMLS will assist client eligible persons in securing access to basic needs and in challenging institutional barriers in order to achieve equal justice for all.
