Apply for Free Legal Aid

If you need more than just advice, you may qualify for free legal aid. Legal aid provides someone to represent you in court or handle your legal matter from start to finish.

What Legal Aid Can Do

Legal aid provides full representation, not just guidance. This means an attorney can go to court with you, file paperwork on your behalf, and handle your case through resolution. Legal aid attorneys help with housing issues (evictions, uninhabitable conditions), family law (divorce, custody, domestic violence), consumer problems (debt, bankruptcy), public benefits, elder law, and more.

Get Low-Cost Legal Help

If you can't afford full-priced legal assistance but don't qualify for free legal aid, you might consider hiring an attorney who offers unbundled legal services (also called "a la carte legal services").

How Unbundled Services Work

These attorneys charge reduced fees and handle only parts of your case while you manage the rest. For example, if you're getting divorced, an attorney might draft the divorce complaint and coach you on what to say at the hearing. You would be responsible for filing the complaint, attending the hearing, and handling other parts of your case.

The more tasks the attorney handles, the higher their fee. The more you handle yourself, the lower their fee. You don't need to be low-income to use this service.
