More than 60 million Americans are now eligible for civil legal assistance at the legal aid offices funded by LSC, recently released U.S. Census Bureau data show. These Americans had incomes at or below 125 percent of the federal poverty line—$13,613 for an individual and $27,938 for a family of four.

We welcome your comments and suggestions (We can not give legal advice through the website. Unfortunately, our organization is minimally staffed. In order to save time and work more efficiently, an interview process must be completed to determine whether or not you are eligible for our services. In this way, the attorney’s on staff can devote their time to those who qualify for service, rather than non-qualified clients wishing to receive free legal advice.)
