Our Story
The Heart of Justice
Established in 1991, the Harford County Bar Foundation (HCBF) was organized as a non-profit community resource to offer education and legal referral services to the residents of Harford County. Since its founding, HCBF has extended its reach by serving residents of Cecil County and increasing its community outreach programs.
Many come to HCBF defeated and scared after having many doors closed to them. They are often frustrated, overwhelmed and need help. HCBF has an open door and listens to each individual that walks in or calls. The HCBF team works to find a way to assist through direct referrals to legal, local services, or organizations based on the unique need(s) of each client.
HCBF holds regular clinics, workshops, provides direct representation and collaborates with other non-profits regarding abuse, custody, homelessness, bankruptcy, employment, individual rights, consumer matters, educational issues and end of life decisions.
