A legal clinic in Greeley, Colorado

The door should open for anyone who knocks

Greeley began as a colony of strangers who came west to start over. People still do. They work our fields, plants and kitchens, raise children here and keep this town running, and many wait years for papers that decide whether they may stay.

Union Colony Legal Clinic exists so that the answer does not depend on the size of a bank account. We are lawyers. We take a limited number of cases, charge what a household can reasonably pay, and tell you plainly what the law allows and what it does not.

If you have a question, come in, call or write, in English or in Spanish. A first conversation costs nothing.
