We are thrilled to announce Michelle R. Cassorla has been elected to the Board of Directors of MetroWest Legal Services (MWLS). Michelle began her three-year term in September 2026.
MetroWest Legal Services provides legal advocacy to protect and advance the rights of people living with lower income or disabilities, and those who are over the age of 60. MWLS assists clients in obtaining legal, social and economic justice, and helps secure access to basic needs and challenge institutional barriers in order to achieve equal justice for all.
MWLS assists more than 2,000 people each year and has expanded its services to include educational programs, support for survivors of domestic abuse and senior citizens, immigration assistance, health advocacy, pro bono legal services, assistance for self-represented litigants, and a medical-legal partnership. The organization gives over 50 outreach presentations and 75 clinics a year to ensure eligible clients are aware of its services.
“I’m honored to join the Board of MetroWest Legal Services and contribute to an organization with a longstanding commitment to advancing access to justice in the community,” said Michelle. “I look forward to working alongside the dedicated MWLS attorneys and fellow Board members to ensure that individuals and families have meaningful access to the legal resources, advocacy, and support they need.”
