Our Community Law

We are a law firm organized as a nonprofit committed to serving other nonprofits. 

Nonprofits in North Texas avoid engaging lawyers because lawyers are expensive; additionally, finding lawyers with actual nonprofit expertise can present an insurmountable challenge.  This avoidance only exacerbates an already unhealthy circumstance as legal issues fester, options for minimizing adverse impact diminish, and nonprofits continue to spiral out of compliance with fundamental tax and legal obligations. Those nonprofits that don’t rely on avoidance rely on pro bono legal services. Attracted by free representation, they are served by junior lawyers without relevant  nonprofit and tax-exempt organization expertise, stand last in line for those services, and possess no leverage to receive better service. 

Subsidized through donations and grants, Our Community Law offers below-cost legal advice and benefits nonprofit organizations in several ways, including:

• Continuous Support. Having a dedicated legal team always available to address a nonprofit organization’s concerns reduces undiscovered issues and avoids unexpected surprises. 

• Proactive Legal Advice. Regular check-ins and ongoing support help identify legal and  compliance issues as they arise, ensuring that nonprofit organizations remain protected and  compliant. 

• Predictable Costs. With a set, recurring monthly fee, nonprofit organizations can effectively budget their legal expenses without worrying about unexpected legal bills. 

Through our flat monthly rates, we offer cost-effective legal solutions and resources, along with a vibrant community platform where nonprofits can connect, share resources, and collaborate.
