What People Are Saying
“My friend told me about the Muslim Legal Support Centre after hearing about it from her neighbour. I was desperately in need of legal help and struggled to find help in the past. The staff at MLSC supported me during a really hard time. The staff lawyer was incredibly patient with my concerns and questions, always responding quickly. I felt thoroughly supported at every step by MLSC. I am so grateful for them.”

“Going to the Muslim Legal Support Centre feels like getting support from a good friend. They understand all the little things about me, including my cultural needs. I trust them completely and feel that everyone there is genuinely looking out for my best interests. That kind of care is rare to find.”

“When it comes to discussing legal stuff, it can be hard to feel comfortable with just anyone. But the Muslim Legal Support Centre is different. Everyone I interacted with was a woman which made me feel safe, supported, and like I could share my personal issues without being judged. It’s such a relief knowing there’s a place like this I can go to.”
