Emily Justin

Senior Attorney - Youth Homelessness Prevention

I am deeply committed to holistic, trauma-informed representation, firmly believing that every young person deserves an advocate who understands not only their legal needs but also the complex systems that impact their lives. My approach centers on dismantling oppressive systems and structures, recognizing that the legal system can often perpetuate harm, particularly for marginalized communities. I work to ensure that all young people have access to quality legal representation that prioritizes both their collective and individual interests.

With experience in public benefits, immigration law, and eviction defense, I am dedicated to empowering my clients to navigate these systems while fighting for their dignity and rights. By providing trauma-informed representation, I aim to create a safe space for clients to share their experiences, while supporting them through the legal process with empathy and respect.

Ultimately, my work is rooted in a deep commitment to social justice, and I strive to advocate for young people in a way that acknowledges their humanity and resilience, while challenging systems of oppression and ensuring their voices are heard. In my free time, I love to go thrift shopping, and hangout with my dog and cat.
