Mission

Cancer Legal Care (CLC) engages the law to resolve the complex challenges facing people and communities affected by cancer. The primary means of so doing is the provision of free civil legal care services to Minnesotans affected by cancer who otherwise have no access to an attorney’s help for the legal issues that directly impact their health and quality of life. Since October 2007, CLC’s programs have provided over $15.3 million in free legal care to over 11,900 Minnesotans affected by cancer. Our programs are open to all Minnesotans affected by any type of cancer, residing anywhere in the state, with 80% of our clients residing in the Twin Cities Metro Area, and 20% residing in Greater Minnesota.
