Do you have a Legal Problem? ... but
can't afford a lawyer? ... We can help!
Confidential
Everything you say at Legal Aid is confidential. If you are
eligible for our help you will be called back by an attorney or a
paralegal who will learn the facts of your case and discuss ways
in which we may be able to help you.
We may give you legal advice, information, or a referral to
another agency or program. We may provide brief service, such as
making some telephone calls or writing letters on your behalf. We
may represent you at a hearing or in court. How we handle your
case depends on what it is you want, what it takes to solve your
problem, and the availability of Legal Aid staff.
