As the economy continues to slide, those requiring LSGMI’s services have reached record highs. In the first 4 months of 2010, unemployment compensation cases increased by 19%; consumer cases by 48%; and mortgage foreclosure cases by 160%.

Fortunately, members of the legal and business community and the community at-large have helped make up the deficit by supporting LSGMI’s “Together, We Must” Campaign for Justice. Through their generosity, the Campaign has raised over $850,000.00 in gifts and pledges enabling LSGMI to increase its attorney staff by 10%.

Our heartfelt thanks to each of you who have supported our Campaign. For those of you, who have not yet done so, please join us in making a gift to the Campaign and helping the poor in our community.
