The National Consumer Law Center is an American nonprofit organization specializing in consumer issues on behalf of low-income people. Legal services, government and private attorneys, as well as community organizations, work with the center to advocate for consumer reform.
The National Consumer Law Center primarily researches consumer law in America and writes books for consumer lawyers and other legal advocates for those of low income.
The NCLC does not take cases for or represent individual consumers.

Another resource is the Legal Services Center who have listings of local legal service centers across the United States.
