Dade Legal Aid - Put Something Back operates in the Miami area within the Legal Services sector, providing free civil legal services to qualifying low-income residents of Miami-Dade County since 1949. The Put Something Back Pro Bono Project, established in 1991 with The Eleventh Judicial Circuit, coordinates pro bono work alongside the organization’s staff attorneys, expanding access to a broad range of civil matters such as family law, domestic violence, housing, bankruptcy, foreclosure, guardianship, and advocacy for children and foster youth. The organization concentrates its efforts on protecting the rights of marginalized groups, including vulnerable families, the elderly, and individuals facing housing or financial challenges, with support from private bar and pro bono lawyers. The group combines staff attorneys with pro bono volunteers and works with the private bar and judiciary to sustain its service model. In mid-2026, Dade Legal Aid announced its participation in the 34th Annual Nuts & Bolts of Family Law Seminar and will offer training to support free pro bono family law representation, reflecting ongoing outreach to expand access to civil legal services.
