The Commons Law Center helps low- and moderate-income Oregonians defend against eviction at NO COST. Looking for help? Start by requesting a consultation using the link below.
More than half of all Oregonians qualify for legal services. A family of four could earn up to $103,000 per year and a single person up to $51,000 and still qualify for services. To see the maximum monthly income by household size, click here.
"The Commons Law Center was so helpful and professional! Going through a legal matter can be very difficult and expensive. They really made the difference! Thank you so much for all your help."
