I Am In Trouble
I need someone that I can trust to help me through a very difficult time. I don't have much money, and I'm quickly running out of time. Someone told me that I should call Administer Justice in East Dundee to get an appointment with a counselor, or maybe even with an attorney to help me sort things out and make a plan. But, before I make the call I have a few questions...
How Can You Help Me?
Administer Justice provides professional legal, financial and conflict services. Our volunteer attorneys and other professionals will help you put together a plan. Depending on your circumstances that may mean providing you with tools and resources you need to address this problem, it may mean representation, or intervention in some other form, helping to establish a financial plan or meeting with a conflict coach, but it starts with a personal appointment with a professional…

Will The Person I Meet With Take My Case?

How Much Can I Make And Still Get Help From You ?
If your family makes less money than listed in this table, then you qualify for most of our low-income services (half the amount listed for court representation).
Please contact us at our office to discuss your special situation. We will do whatever we can to help.
How Much Will This Cost?
Most of our services are free. However, we do ask you for $20 when you arrive for your first appointment. After that first appointment, we do our best to help you at no additional charge.
However, keep in mind that there may be extra costs related to solving your particular issue such as court costs, documentation fees or penalties.
What Does It Mean To Be Faith-Based? Do I Have To Go To A Particular Church To Get Help??
No. Administer Justice was formed through the faith of its founder and executive director, Bruce Strom. Also, all of Administer Justice’s Board of Directors are Christian, however, they are from different church backgrounds.
Administer Justice looks for volunteers who care about people regardless of their faith and who are willing to serve you with competence and compassion. It violates our faith and our calling to require you to believe the same as we do in order to receive services.
Will My Case Be Confidential?
At Administer Justice, we understand your need for privacy and confidentiality. When you call for an appointment, let us know what phone number or e-mail address we can use to communicate with you.
Also, explain to us some of the details of your situation so we can best protect your privacy.
