  • Legal advice and counseling about procedures and pension arrangements on retirement issues
  • Advice, legal services and counseling about the procedures and requirements for INFONAVIT, IMSS, and AFORE for pensioners

  • Various workshops on legal issues and prevention provided to community centers and/or civil organizations

Please read the testimonies of our clients who have benefited from the services of the non profit legal clinic of Fundacion Leon



After handling my divorce, my ex-husband failed to comply with the alimony to support the needs of our 10 year old child. He was 9 months late in paying the rent as well as the school fees. With the support of the non profit legal clinic of Fundacion Leon I got the alimony deducted directly from my ex-husband's payroll account, and they also helped me in the courts in order to get payment for the total of my overdue rent.

My mother passed away and I had a mortgage in "Caja Popular". In "Caja" they didn't want to honor my payment schedule and they wanted me to pay off the mortgage with my inheritance. They sued me because I was my mother's executor, but thanks to the non profit legal clinic of Fundacion Leon, we won at trial and didn't have to pay off the mortgage.
  Ms. Lourdes


A while ago, I was sued based on a false promissory note. The amount was $30,000 pesos. At the non profit legal clinic of Fundacion Leon, they helped me answer the complaint and had an expert testify to the counterfeiting. The plaintiffs however continued the lawsuit asking for more time to answer my allegations. The legal clinic continued representing me until finally it was proven that the promissory note was false and the court dismissed the case.
  Mr. Antonio


Thanks to the non profit legal clinic of Fundacion Leon I was able to obtain legal custody of my two granddaughters because my daughter did not take good care of them due to her criminal behavior and drug abuse.
