Equal Justice for the Underserved


Mississippi Center for Legal Services (MCLSC) is a law firm for low income persons. Our firm’s very basic goal is to provide high quality free civil legal assistance to the most needy of Mississippi’s low income population within our forty three county service area. This is not always an easy task given diminishing resources and the political and economic climate in which we find ourselves. Also, the task is not easy when many still do not believe that everyone, regardless of their station in life, should have equal access to the justice system. However, we are fortunate to have a Board of Directors and staff who are committed to providing the very best legal assistance to as many people as possible. We want to be of service.


Thank you for your visit. Please contact us if we can assist you.

A Client's Home, Saved

One of our clients sought assistance in saving her home from foreclosure. She had obtained ownership after the death of her parents, however, she was unable to afford the monthly mortgage. MCLSC’s staff assisted the client in developing a budget and financial statement, which was submitted to the USDA for a loan modification. The USDA reinstated the loan, dropped the foreclosure action, and reduced the client’s monthly payment to $238. Our client was able to keep her home and is now paying a monthly note that she can afford.

Without Mr. Allen’s diligence and persistent efforts to follow the ever changing rules of the Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF), I would have been more confused than normal. It was impossible for the lay person to follow Mr. Feinburg’s ever changing “methodology”. Thanks to Mr. Allen; he explained the facts to me in a clear and concise manner. I have nothing but praise for Mr. Allen.”
