Welcome to the Massachusetts Transgender Legal Advocates' blog! We will keep you up to date here about upcoming events and information. For now, mark your calendar with two important dates:
Wednesday, January 16, from 5pm to 7pm
(location to be announced)
Massachusetts Transgender Legal Advocates kickoff event.
Learn about MTLA and what we can do for you and for folks in your community. Some of our legal advocates (law students and lawyers) will spend a few minutes discussing the services we will be able to provide. Refreshments will follow. There is no cost associated with this event. This event will be alcohol free.
Thursday, January 17th, from 6pm to 8pm
(Cambridge Cares About AIDS, 17 Sellers St, Cambridge MA)
Massachusetts Transgender Legal Advocates open for business.
Schedule an appointment by calling 617-450-1353 and leaving a voicemail, or just drop in. An MTLA will meet with you to discuss your legal concern and will work to explain your rights, find you an appropriate free or low-cost lawyer, or organize legal representation through MTLA. After visiting MTLA, expect to know within one week whether we will be able to take your case. We will do our best to find someone else to take it if we cannot.
MTLA clinics will take place the third Thursday of every month beginning on January 17th, 2008.

Addressing the legal needs of low income transgender people in Massachusetts.
About Massachusetts Transgender Legal Advocates (MTLA)
Massachusetts Transgender Legal Advocates is a small group of law students and lawyers committed to addressing the needs of low income transgender people in Massachusetts. MTLA recognizes that a lack of public awareness about trans people can make it difficult to navigate the legal system. Our legal team is composed of trans folks and their significant others, family, and friends.
Whether it involves talking you through a process, helping you to find an attorney you can afford, or addressing your issue ourselves, MTLA will do what we can to address your legal needs.
