The short answer is no: CAEFS legal work is systemic, and we do not represent individual people.
If you are currently incarcerated, or supporting someone who is, we recommend contacting the lead advocate for your region (contact information listed above) for more information about how CAEFS can support you, including possible referrals.
Some local Elizabeth Fry Societies also offer free legal clinics. Check with your local Elizabeth Fry Society.
