How To
Where can I get legal aid for free?
Because there are many lawyers who want your business, it can be very difficult to find a pro-bono lawyer. There are several ways you can go about finding a pro bono attorney. You can reach out to your local bar association to ask for recommendations, search online for pro bono service providers, or check with the state bar association. Local law schools are another option for finding a pro-bono attorney. Many law school students have the opportunity to assist clients with low income to get justice. If none of these options appeal to you, you might consider reaching out to a non-profit organization like Legal Services Corporation (LSC). LSC provides free civil legal aid to those living below the poverty level by funding organizations all across the country. The organization helps fund programs that assist low-income individuals with housing issues, child support enforcement, family law matters, consumer protection, bankruptcy, immigration, and public benefits. LSC not only provides financial assistance but also offers guidance and support to its grantees regarding how to best serve their clients. For example, some of the services provided include:
