About Us
Board Of Directors
On January 1, 2026, Judicare Legal Aid and Legal Action of Wisconsin joined forces to become one unified, statewide legal aid firm. This new, merged organization is keeping the name Legal Action of Wisconsin. We chose to merge, because we believe that together we can deliver stronger, more accessible, and more sustainable legal help to the communities we serve. Learn more about the merger here. Our board members join the Legal Action of Wisconsin Board of Directors during a transitionary period.
