About Queen City Community Law Firm

Queen City Community Law Firm was founded by Ismaail Qaiyim, an attorney who grew up in West Charlotte and built his practice around a background as a community organizer, policy researcher, and freelance writer before becoming a lawyer. That background shapes the firm's mission, which centers on providing affordable, high-quality legal representation to economically vulnerable Charlotteans who might otherwise go without a lawyer. Qaiyim describes his approach directly: "lawyers must work for the interests of those who historically have not had a voice." The firm's practice areas focus heavily on housing and economic justice, including eviction prevention and defense, foreclosure assistance, and housing discrimination cases. It also handles wage theft claims and employment discrimination matters for workers, along with fraudulent business practices and broader consumer protection issues, and general breach of contract disputes. Beyond individual representation, Queen City Community Law Firm supports community development work, offering capacity-building and organizational development services to community groups, unions, and activist organizations working toward more equitable outcomes in the city. The firm frames this work as part of a broader commitment to social justice and equitable city development, not just individual case outcomes. Queen City Community Law Firm offers free consultations to prospective clients and explicitly serves people outside of Charlotte as well as residents, widening access to its services. The firm is based at 4938 Central Avenue in Charlotte and can be reached by phone at (980) 281-2798 or by email, with a stated commitment to keeping legal help within reach of the communities it was built to serve.
