inMotion reaches women in all 5 boroughs
of New York City
Our wide network of contacts at legal and social services agencies, hospitals and clinics, the courts and police precincts, churches and shelters, helps to spread the word about inMotion’s free matrimonial, family and immigration legal services.

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 clients speak a language other than English as their primary language and 71% of them require interpretors.

A competent lawyer should not be a luxury
Our clients are poor. Without money for life’s basic necessities, hiring a lawyer is not something they can ever contemplate.

inMotion connects women in crisis with attorneys who want to help
These lawyers secure orders of protection that keep families safe. They help battered immigrant women become legal residents, enabling them to obtain good jobs and a full range of benefits for themselves and their children. They obtain child support orders against fathers who refuse to pay, so that mothers with custody can provide for their children. And they represent women seeking divorces in obtaining custody of their children and a fair share of the assets of the marriage.
