State Legal Aid Resources

Legal issues often arise when you least expect and usually at financially inconvenient times. It's not always easy to determine whether you need a lawyer, and, unfortunately, the cost of hiring one sometimes deters people from getting the legal help they need.

Fortunately, there are a number of resources and organizations at the national and state levels that provide free or low cost legal assistance to those in need. This might come in the form of a free consultation to help sort out your issues and plot a course forward. In other cases, it might involve actual representation in a proceeding on your behalf. Sometimes, these organizations even work with highly reputable law firms who offer their attorneys for pro bono (no cost) legal assistance.
