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.

Almost half of the families we serve live in the Bronx, the City’s poorest borough and the poorest urban county in the United States. Queens, the borough with the highest concentration of immigrants, is home to 19% of our clients.

Latina women account for 54% of our clients
Over 20% of them require a Spanish-speaking attorney or interpreter because they cannot communicate well enough in English. African-American women represent one-third of the women we serve.

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.
