This is an amazing ministry in the Kane and DuPage County areas of Northern IL for anyone dealing with tragic circumstances that need the help of an attorney. I had the honor of serving as their Chairman of the Board for many years and can tell you that there is no other ministry that does as good a job in this area as Administer Justice.
Check out the information below and see if this may help you with your issues.
I Am In Trouble
I need someone that I can trust to help me through a very difficult time. I don't have much money, and I'm quickly running out of time. Someone told me that I should call Administer Justice in East Dundee to get an appointment with a counselor, or maybe even with an attorney to help me sort things out and make a plan. But, before I make the call I have a few questions...
Administer Justice provides professional legal, financial and conflict services. Our volunteer attorneys and other professionals will help you put together a plan. Depending on your circumstances that may mean providing you with tools and resources you need to address this problem, it may mean representation, or intervention in some other form, helping to establish a financial plan or meeting with a conflict coach, but it starts with a personal appointment with a professional...
Call our office in Elgin to make an appointment to visit either our Elgin office or our Dupage branch office: 1-847-844-1100.
Also, you may send an e-mail to us at help@administerjustice.org.
In addition, you can visit our office in Elgin and make an appointment in person. Click HERE to find our office.
Will The Person I Meet With Take My Case?
Probably not. Your appointment is a time to determine your needs and establish a plan. Most of our attorneys and professionals are volunteers who serve at no cost. They want to help you and often the best help is empowering you to help yourself.

How Much Can I Make And Still Get Help From You ?
The Administer Justice Low Income Taxpayer Guidelines: Must be within 250% of the 2009 HHS Poverty Guidelines (see table on the left based on the number of people in your family or household).
If your family makes less money than listed in this table, then you qualify for most of our low-income services (half the amount listed for court representation).
Please contact us at our office to discuss your special situation. We will do whatever we can to help.
How Much Will This Cost?
Most of our services are free. However, we do ask you for $20 when you arrive for your first appointment. After that first appointment, we do our best to help you at no additional charge.
However, keep in mind that there may be extra costs related to solving your particular issue such as court costs, documentation fees or penalties.
What Does It Mean To Be Faith-Based? Do I Have To Go To A Particular Church To Get Help??
No. Administer Justice was formed through the faith of its founder and executive director, Bruce Strom. Also, all of Administer Justice's Board of Directors are Christian, however, they are from different church backgrounds.
Administer Justice looks for volunteers who care about people regardless of their faith and who are willing to serve you with competence and compassion. It violates our faith and our calling to require you to believe the same as we do in order to receive services.
Will My Case Be Confidential?
At Administer Justice, we understand your need for privacy and confidentiality. When you call for an appointment, let us know what phone number or e-mail address we can use to communicate with you.
Also, explain to us some of the details of your situation so we can best protect your privacy.

Planned Giving (Options Beyond A One Time Gift)
When you donate money to an organization you want that money to benefit someone in need. There are many worthy causes which compete for your support.
Consider advice given by experts in a recent issue of Money magazine: "Consider directing some of your giving to smaller organizations and less popular causes that don't have the money for big fund-raising appeals...You may also get a better feel for the impact of your contribution if you direct at least some of your giving to organizations within your own community."
Consider our matching gift opportunities and designated gift opportunities for specific needs.
Also, consider other giving methods such as stocks, life insurance, estate gifts and other planned giving opportunities.
