Our Impact

NWLS works hard to get the best possible outcome for our clients whenever possible.  While NWLS does not file lawsuits, we have been successful in other ways to bring about a monetary award to our clients.  Listed below are the figures for the fiscal year 2024-2025.

Total Amount Received by our Clients:  $1,966,004 for the year. 

Monthly amount:  Last fiscal year we averaged $90,376 in total monthly awards for our clients from unemployment compensation benefits, SSI, and public benefits.

Last fiscal year, our advocates have committed to diligently work on our client's cases.  Our staff has logged over 49,000 hours to assist our clients. Our staff attended numerous outreach events in the community to provide legal education and information about the services we offer.

This past fiscal year we closed 1,606 telephone advice cases, 1,408 direct representation cases for a total of 3,014 cases across our program. NWLS handled 3,491 cases and served 6,609 people. 

We are proud of our accomplishments in our mission to seek justice and assist low-income individuals and families who need civil legal aid.
