About Us

Centro Legal's mission is to provide affordable legal services to low-income families in Milwaukee. We serve a diverse group of clients in family law and criminal misdemeanor defense cases. 

Centro Legal helps clients who are in transition:

Transition out of poverty
Transition toward stability
Transition toward safety

We help people who are trying to help themselves.  Our most successful clients are committed to resolving their legal situations as part of their journey toward a better future.  Our attorneys work with clients who are trying to improve their life, and the lives of their children.  We help clients with their court case, allowing clients to focus on employment, education, health, and safety for their family.
