Our Mission
Everyone Deserves Access to a Fresh Start
We're leading a movement to fight for a legal & financial system we can all access, combining direct services and advocacy. Using education, technology, and community, Upsolve empowers low-income and working-class families to access their legal rights and improve their financial situation. Partnering with our large base of Upsolve users, we also fight to fundamentally change a system stacked against us.
Your Upsolve Team
Besides being lawyers, engineers, academics, and judges we are most importantly people that believe nobody should be too broke to get back on their feet.
