Perhaps not surprisingly, Vegas residents run into all sorts of financial and legal difficulties. Sometimes it's through no fault of one's own, as perhaps life just dealt a bad hand. Still, when this happens, it's important not to fold too soon.

Several Las Vegas and Clark County organizations offer legal assistance to locals with low incomes, and other services are available regardless of one's assets. If you've been affected by legal crises involving housing, immigration, domestic violence, and other issues, someone in the area can likely help. See below for a directory of these "saints" in "Sin City."
