Your contribution to CDEL will allow us to continue to have a significant impact on the lives of our very deserving clients.  Just one example will serve to demonstrate that impact. CDEL client Ann R., a 94 year old Chicago resident, fell victim to elder abuse and financial exploitation.  Like countless other seniors, she was induced to deed the interest to her home to two "fraudsters" who had been financially exploiting her for over 20 years.  Ann and her husband built the home and lived there for over 70 years.  Realizing she had been swindled, and terrified of the prospect of being homeless, Ann turned to CDEL.  Two dedicated and talented attorneys from Winston & Strawn worked tirelessly, pro bono, on her behalf.  After just a few months, title to the home was once again vested in Ann, and her peace of mind, independence and quality of life were restored.

So join us to celebrate CDEL's 25th Anniversary; enjoy an evening by the banks of the Chicago River; savor some of the best Italian food the city has to offer; soak in the sight of Chicago's world famous skyline as you drink and dance the night away at CDEL's outdoor summer fest, in support of a great cause."  
 

About CDEL

Founded in 1984 by the Young Lawyers Section of the Chicago Bar Association, CDEL is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and advancing the legal rights of low-income persons with disabilities and senior citizens in Cook County. 

CDEL's Mission

CDEL provides pro bono legal services through the combined efforts of a modest in-house staff and an active network of hundreds of volunteer attorneys, paralegals, and law students from top law firms and academic institutions. 

In this way, CDEL services a dual mission:

(1) To provide Cook County's most deserving yet underrepresented individuals with access to high quality legal services; and

(2) To foster pro bono culture throughout the Chicago area legal community.
