Justice Is a Fundamental Right
A Legacy of Serving the Community
For decades, Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada has been a beacon of hope for those seeking justice while facing the greatest challenges—survivors of violent crime, the elderly at risk of exploitation, and families trapped in cycles of abuse. Our work has never been more urgent and as the needs of our community continue to grow, we are expanding to meet them.
A Growing Need for Expanded Services
As the demand for our services has grown, so too has the need for expanded capacity and stability. The number of community members we have helped has nearly quadrupled. Our current facilities are not equipped to handle the increasing volume of cases. In response to this urgent need, we have embarked on the process of building an Advocacy & Justice Complex—a dedicated space where survivors of violent crime in Nevada can find access to justice, healing, and support.
The Advocacy & Justice Complex: A Place of Healing and Hope
Our new facility will house three critical Legal Aid Center projects:
- The Resiliency & Justice Center: A specialized program that provides support for survivors of violent crime, offering legal aid, mental health services, and resource navigation in a multi-disciplinary setting
- The Family Justice Project: A legal program that helps survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking seek justice and protection
- The Guardianship Advocacy Project: A critical initiative that works to protect the elderly from exploitation, including financial abuse by predatory guardians
The Advocacy & Justice Complex will be a place where survivors of violent crime find hope, where families in crisis are supported, and where the elderly are protected. Watch more here:
