LCLC is a Christian, charitable legal center that cares for the legal needs of the underserved and marginalized by representing individuals regardless of their ability to pay. We walk alongside our clients wholistically by meeting their legal needs with special care through the love of Jesus.
Our mission is to come alongside youth and young adults twenty-four years old and younger who live in North Lawndale and are involved in the juvenile and adult criminal courts. Through quality legal representation, compassionate social health services, and one-on-one mentoring, our mission is to help our youth and young adults become good citizens and leaders of our community.
We are a ministry of Lawndale Community Church, located in North Lawndale. While we focus on serving North Lawndale youth, youth of nearby neighborhoods are also welcome to seek our services.

We develop good citizens and leaders by caring for North Lawndale youth who are involved in the juvenile or adult criminal courts. We offer zealous and competent criminal defense legal services, compassionate social health services, and faithful loving mentors who walk with our youth on their life’s path. We serve a small number of youth in order to provide them with the care, love, and devotion they need to become valued members of our community. Whether it is legal representation, school advocacy, after-school tutoring, job training, drug and alcohol counseling, therapy, learning to plan and pursue career goals, gang intervention, community service, or peer group counseling, we work with our youth and their families to improve their quality of life and help them become good citizens and leaders of our community.
