Reference Information — Not Legal Advice
This tool surfaces general reference information for educational purposes. It is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Verify any procedural step with the official court or agency before acting.
Legal Aid Finder
Find free and low-cost legal help in your state. Combines LSC-funded legal aid organizations, state bar pro bono programs, court self-help centers, and specialized national resources by practice area.
Estimates Only — Consult a Licensed Attorney
Legal aid eligibility is determined by each program based on income, assets, household composition, citizenship status (LSC restrictions apply), and case type. Many programs have waiting lists or geographic restrictions. Some practice areas (criminal defense for indigent defendants, family-law domestic violence) have dedicated funding streams with different eligibility rules. This finder lists referral sources only; intake decisions belong to each organization.
