Legal Assistance to Low Income Individuals
The United States Congress established the Legal Services Corporation to provide low-income Americans access to civil legal aid. To carry out this responsibility, the Corporation provides grants to approximately 179 local legal aid programs, which serve every county in the nation. These local programs offer legal assistance to financially eligible clients.
The Corporation itself does not offer legal aid directly. However, an LSC program in your area may be able to provide you with some assistance. This Directory lists program main offices only. Many programs also have branch offices, and the program in your area may be able to refer you to a branch office for assistance.
To find the program nearest you, enter your state and county in the boxes below, then press "Proceed." You may also view a list of all programs in your state by leaving the county name blank.
