Northbrook, IL ( PressReleaseCollection ) October 03, 2009 – The law firm of Macey & Aleman/Legal Helpers recently donated $5,000 to aid in the ongoing mission of Prairie State Legal Services.

Prairie State Legal Services offers free legal services in northern and central Illinois for low-income persons and those over the age of 60 with serious civil legal problems and need legal help to solve these issues. The organization’s mission is "to provide or coordinate the delivery of high quality legal services to low-income individuals, families and groups."

Throughout its history, Prairie State has focused on providing legal services to the most vulnerable groups in our society, the poor, the elderly, the physically and mentally disabled as well as other vulnerable people.
