Join us on June 27, 2026, for the Race for Justice, a family and pet-friendly 5K run/walk through NE Portland benefiting St. Andrew Legal Clinic. Gather at Migration Brewing for a day of energy, community, and purpose as we come together to support affordable legal services for families facing crisis.

The Race for Justice is more than an event; it is a chance to take meaningful action. Every registration helps St. Andrew Legal Clinic provide critical legal guidance and advocacy to low and moderate-income families navigating some of life’s most difficult challenges. When you participate, you help bring stability, hope, and access to justice to those who need it most.

2025 Impact

As we began 2026, we are honored to look back on the progress, partnerships, and moments of courage that shaped last year at SALC. Every day, parents, survivors, caregivers, and veterans walk through our doors carrying fear, uncertainty, and the weight of life-changing decisions. Your generosity ensures they do not face these moments alone. It brings clarity where there is confusion, stability where there is instability, and hope to those searching for a path forward. This impact reflects the compassion of supporters like you and the strength of the families we serve. Thank you for being part of this work.

Who We Serve.

What We Do.

At St. Andrew Legal Clinic, our mission is to uphold the principle that access to legal representation should be a fundamental right, not a privilege limited to a select few. Our primary focus is to expand accessibility to legal services by offering affordable and low-cost assistance to individuals who fall within the gap of not qualifying for pro bono legal services yet cannot afford to hire a private attorney to navigate the intricate and daunting legal system. Through our dedicated efforts, we aim to empower and support underserved communities, ensuring that justice is accessible to all, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Our attorneys have helped clients with:

• Adoptions

• Child Custody

• Child Support

• Divorce

• Domestic Violence Intervention

• Guardianship

• Restraining Orders

• Spousal Support

St. Andrew Legal Clinic serves low-income families with family law needs. If you are seeking legal advice but do not have the means to hire a private attorney, then you are in the right place. No matter your family law needs and income level, SALC is here to serve our clients with compassion and professionalism.

Caring for our Clients in Crisis

You can help us to help clients just like Carla with your support of St. Andrew Legal Clinic. Make your gift today and Stand With SALC.

Even in uncertain times, SALC makes an impact in the community and sees clients in-person or via virtual means to make sure that they are receiving the support they need.

SALC Attorney Connie Lukes never met her client Carla in person. Carla sought help from SALC in March 2020, just as the Covid-19 crisis was unfolding. Connie and Carla's only contact was via E-Mail and phone and yet Carla was able to receive the support she needed for herself and her daughters.

Carla tells us, “From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you. I know you see woman like me often, but I wanted you to know, it was YOU that gave me my first bit of power and strength after being abandoned by my ex. You never made me feel stupid or unworthy of asking for support for me and my kids and that started my pathway to becoming a single, powerful and strong woman for my daughters to bear witness and I will always be eternally grateful for your help. There is a special place in heaven for people like you and what you do. Thank you again for all of your help during this time.”

“To have a person who knows the law, stand up and speak for you, in a time when you’re hurting and you can’t speak for yourself, that’s important.”
