About Us

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. The Wausau office (formerly Judicare Legal Aid) is staffed by a dedicated group of individuals committed to providing legal services to the low-income residents in Wisconsin’s Northern 33 counties and statewide as Legal Action of Wisconsin. Learn more about the Legal Action of Wisconsin merger here.
