Letter from the Presidents Dear Supporters and Friends of the ATJ Campaign, Since the Access to Justice Campaign was centralized in 2018, the Michigan legal community has demonstrated a sustained commitment to advancing access to justice for individuals and families across our state by its support of the Campaign. We are pleased to share the 2025 ATJ Campaign Annual Report, highlighting the impact of this collective investment and the work of the ATJ Campaign’s 14 participating legal aid programs.

In 2025, members of the legal community contributed $1.2 million to support civil legal aid.

47 law firms with two or more attorneys were recognized as Leadership Firms because they gave $300 per lawyer or more to the Campaign. The Campaign launched a new giving initiative, Champions of Impact, recognizing supporters who contribute $10,000 or more.

In 2025, we were proud to celebrate 41 Champions of Impact.

The ATJ Campaign continues to gain momentum each year. To increase support, the Foundation has added an impact gifts manager, an engagement manager, and a chief development officer. This expanded team will focus on retaining annual supporters, developing new supporters and expanding major gift relationships including planned giving. The goal remains to increase the financial support for civil legal aid to help our most vulnerable Michigan neighbors.

As members of the legal profession, we are uniquely positioned to strengthen access to justice. Civil legal challenges often carry lasting consequences, and timely legal representation can be critical to stability and opportunity. Investing in the ATJ Campaign reflects a shared commitment to expand access to legal representation and improve outcomes for low-income Michiganders.

We thank you for your continued support as we work collectively to increase the positive impact that the legal community has on providing legal aid in Michigan.

With sincere gratitude,

Craig H. Lubben Craig H. Lubben President Michigan State Bar Foundation

Donor generosity makes it possible to serve thousands of low-income Michigan residents each year. Legal representation can mean the difference between stability and crisis— protecting housing, safety, and basic needs. These investments strengthen our ability to respond where it is needed most. We are grateful for the leadership and commitment of our partners in advancing access to justice. Thank you!!

Client Impact Stories Restoring Dignity and Autonomy After a stroke, Ben became the subject of a guardianship petition filed by a hospital system. At a hearing where he was not given the opportunity to speak, the court appointed a temporary guardian. In the weeks that followed, the guardian failed to meet even basic responsibilities. Ben was evicted from his apartment and went without necessary care and medication.

Legal Aid intervened at the next hearing.

With representation, the situation was reexamined, and the hospital withdrew its guardianship petition.

Family Cases 7,237

Ben has since established trusted decision-making arrangements, restoring his autonomy and ensuring his needs are properly managed.

represented by a legal aid attorney received a positive outcome.

Securing Homeownership and Ensuring Stability After working diligently to pay off her mobile home, Bonnie repeatedly requested that the mobile home park transfer the title to her, but they failed to do so.

When the park moved to evict her for nonpayment five years later, Bonnie faced the loss of her home. In court, her legal aid attorney raised the unresolved issue that despite having paid for the home in full, the park had never transferred the title.

Housing Cases 26,798 98.73% of individuals represented by a legal aid attorney received a positive outcome.

PAGE 6

The park ultimately transferred the title to Bonnie and agreed to reduce the amount of rent owed in recognition of their failure to act. A structured payment plan brought the account current and allowed Bonnie to remain in her home with her ownership formally acknowledged.

With legal support, Bonnie was able to assert her rights, secure her housing, and move forward with greater stability.

Expanding the Impact of Civil Legal Aid through Volunteer Attorney Partnerships Partnerships between legal aid programs and volunteer attorneys remain essential to expanding access to civil legal aid.

In addition to direct representation, many volunteer attorneys can support this work through financial contributions— ensuring that participating programs have the resources needed to deliver services effectively.

Restoring Stability and Ensuring Safety Alice, a domestic violence survivor, reached out to Legal Aid after her husband filed for divorce, moved out, withdrew equity from their home, and took out a reverse mortgage on the house, while continuing to threaten and pressure her to leave the home.

Legal Aid connected Alice with a pro bono attorney.

Alice ultimately secured her share of the proceeds from the sale of the home, allowing her to move forward and establish a new living situation.

“

Thank you - thank you - thank you from the bottom of my heart.

There is no way I could have done any of it without your help.

I am grateful for the pro bono beyond words.

Years ago, I read the statement ‘There are some things only lawyers can do’ and it made an impact on me. While many of us provide pro bono legal services from time to time, through the Access to Justice Campaign, we have an opportunity to support programs where attorneys can provide those critical services every day. That opportunity is to contribute financially, and to do so as generously as we can. We know from experience that our services can change lives, in big and small ways, all of them meaningful. It is wonderful to be part of a profession that can make our country and our communities stronger.

PRESIDENT, SINAS DRAMIS At Sinas Dramis we feel fortunate to practice in an area of law that allows us to work on a contingency fee basis because a client’s ability to pay is never a barrier to obtaining justice.

Unfortunately, most areas of the law require payment of attorney fees and expenses up front which creates a tremendous justice gap between the wealthy and poor. This gap is only growing with recent decisions that dramatically reduce federal funding for legal representation programs. We support the ATJ Campaign because it helps provide regional and statewide legal aid programs with resources needed to close this justice gap.

Additional Support from the Legal Community Cy Pres Awards and Relief Funds Plaintiff attorneys can further strengthen Michigan’s civil legal aid infrastructure by designating the Access to Justice Campaign and the Michigan State Bar Foundation as recipients of residual funds from class action settlements. These investments—often distributed through cy pres awards—extend the reach of justice by supporting individuals and communities whose voices might otherwise go unheard.

AW RES A

RDS

Four law firms directed cy pres awards to the Access to Justice Campaign in 2025 and these firms are recognized as Champions of Impact. This funding helps ensure access to justice for thousands of Michigan residents facing complex legal challenges.

CY P

Through two class action settlements, the Foundation administers a Relief Fund that provides grants to legal aid organizations expanding access to representation in unemployment benefit cases ensuring that individuals navigating complex systems have meaningful access to counsel.

Learn how you and your firm can advance this work through cy pres awards at atjfund.org.

Banking on Justice Campaign Michigan attorneys can increase funding for civil legal aid by holding Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA) at financial institutions that participate in the Foundation’s Banking on Justice Program. Participating institutions pay significantly higher IOLTA rates, sometimes more than 300 times those of other financial institutions, resulting in increased resources for civil legal aid. Funds generated through IOLTA accounts are a critical source of support for civil legal aid programs across Michigan. The following financial institutions participate in the Banking on Justice Program:

BANK OU

ERE Y WH

• Hingham Institution for Savings • Huntington • Isabella Bank • KeyBank • Northern Trust • Servbank • UMB Bank • West Shore Bank

T TERS MA

• Bank of America • CIBC • Citizens National Bank • Community Unity Bank • DR Bank • Encore Bank • First Federal Bank • First National Bank of America
