Methodist Justice Ministry

The mission of Methodist Justice Ministry is to provide free legal representation and ongoing support to vulnerable community members impacted by family violence, child abuse, and child neglect.

Methodist Justice Ministry attorneys file lawsuits in Tarrant and Johnson County’s family courts including protective orders, custody, and divorce. We represent victims of physical abuse, sexual abuse, or severe child neglect. These situations are often complex and may require multiple suits and tremendous preparation for court. Our client’s households are generally within 125% of federal poverty guidelines and they cannot afford legal counsel. MJM’s skilled attorneys advocate for the safety of our clients, no matter the length of their case.

MJM also offers ongoing support which includes covering counseling fees and emergency financial assistance. Our staff connects clients with a network of services to help families transition to safe and stable lives.
