After hearing Dr. Frank Kik’s inspirational sermon in 1992 at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, the six original founders of Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic first took time to do their research. They traveled to Chicago and visited the American Bar Association Office of Pro Bono, as well as other pro bono legal clinics. One of the original founders, long-time volunteer, and former Board President Lynn Tyler says that one of the clinics had two or three full-time employees. He recalls thinking, “Wow, wouldn’t it be awesome if we ever got that big?”

The founders knew from a study released in the early 1990s that there was a great need for free legal services for low-income families in the community. But the task was also daunting. The first Executive Director Abby Kuzma says, “I’d never represented individuals; I’d always worked for the government.” In spite of this, Abby and the others never yielded when they were met with various roadblocks. “I felt so called that I failed to consider if I was really qualified,” she says.
