Full-time

Legal Services of Greater Miami and its 30 lawyers have provided legal representation to low-income communities for over 55 years.   The firm is a leader in the legal aid community and has been recognized for its creative and aggressive advocacy for its clients.

Legal Services recently received funding from Miami-Dade County Commissioner Eileen Higgins to represent tenants facing eviction who live in Commission District 5. Legal Services is accepting applications from attorneys admitted to the Florida Bar who have a commitment and passion for social, economic, and racial justice and want to protect the rights of low-income tenants living in Miami-Dade County. The attorneys hired for this position will serve as a model for expanded legal representation in the County for tenants facing eviction.

The attorneys would represent tenants living in Commission District 5 who are facing eviction from their home.
