How to access legal help help

Legal aid may offer advice, a clinic visit or help with a case. Each office checks the legal issue, service area, income rules and available staff. An intake call does not mean it has taken your case.

What to bring

Keep court papers, notices and related letters together. Ask which income or identity documents the office needs.

Typical timeline

Intake and case schedules vary. Do not assume a request for help changes a court date or filing deadline.
