Our Mission
Black Mother’s 4 Justice, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides assistance to parents, grandparents and guardians with children entangled in the Criminal Justice System to give them a better understanding of the legal process so they can be better informed when making legal decisions for their loved ones. Today’s courtrooms are modern day “auction blocks” where Black boys and men are silently being bought and sold all across the nation.
If you are impacted by the Criminal Justice System in any way and have questions about the legal process this platform is for you:
- Do you want to advocate for your child but not sure how?
- Do you have questions about arraignments, search warrants, bail/bond, court -appointed attorneys, etc.?
- Have you paid a lawyer that’s not responding to your calls and has done nothing for your child’s case?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, feel free to email your questions to melindarobertson35@gmail.com with BM4J Question in subject line.
COMING SOON!!!
What happens after a convicted felon’s conviction has been overturned by the Court of Appeals and his attorney coerces him to plead GUILTY to the charge that was overturned, under the pretense that it would be "expunged" from his record, only to learn the charge was NOT expungable? This is the story about Roland Brown, a once prominent Baltimore City attorney who had eight grievances filed against him with the Attorney Grievance Committee ("AGC") for his ineffective counseling and misrepresenting his clients. As a result of Mr. Brown's failure to appear before the Honorable Troy K. Hill in Baltimore City Circuit Court on July 2, 2026, the lawyer for the AGC has recommended disbarment. Despite these new developments, Baltimore City's state's attorney office continues to keep their foot on the neck of the individual whose conviction was overturned, so what does it really mean to have a conviction overturned??? Do you have a loved one recently convicted or going to trial in the near future? Join me on this journey as I break down the aftermath of an overturned conviction because Knowledge is Power!!! #NjustUs
