Help Bring Hope, Protection, and Support to Vulnerable Families
About Methodist Justice Ministry (MJM)
Methodist Justice Ministry (MJM) is a nonprofit law firm that provides free legal representation to survivors of domestic violence and the protective caregivers of children who have been abused or neglected.
Since 2006, MJM has stood alongside more than 3,500 vulnerable community members, helping them find safety, stability, and a path toward healing. We serve families in Tarrant and Johnson Counties with household incomes up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
Because of the generosity of our community, every client receives compassionate legal advocacy and support at no cost, regardless of how long or complex their case may be.
Your Gift Provides...
HOPE
Every day, our phones ring with calls from people facing unimaginable circumstances. Many of our clients are courageous parents escaping abuse. Others are grandparents, aunts, uncles, or other relatives stepping in to protect children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Many have nowhere else to turn. From the very first conversation, our team offers compassion, guidance, and reassurance that they are not alone. Hope begins when someone answers the call.
PROTECTION
Did you know that a protective order can reduce the likelihood of revictimization by up to 80%?
Our attorneys provide skilled legal representation through every step of the process, advocating until a safe and lasting resolution is achieved. With the right legal protections and compassionate advocacy, families can begin to heal and build a safer future.
SUPPORT
Our work doesn't end when a court case is over. MJM walks alongside families as they rebuild their lives, connecting them with counseling, emergency financial assistance, and trusted community resources. For many clients, this support continues for months, helping them move from crisis to lasting stability.
Together, we are giving families more than legal representation—we are allowing them to build a brighter future.
