InMotion's clients are poor and working poor women
 Our clients are low-income women who live in New York City. Most are single mothers. Without money for life’s basic necessities, hiring a lawyer is not something they can ever contemplate.

- 43% of the families we serve live in the Bronx,
the City’s poorest borough and the poorest urban county in the United States.
- 27% of our clients live in Queens.
Queens is the most ethnically diverse county in the entire United States. Nearly half of the people who live in Queens were born in a foreign country—and collectively speak more than 160 languages.
- Latina women account for 52% of our clients and 28% are African-American.
35% of our clients speak a language other than English as their primary language and 71% of them require interpreters.
