Legal aid programs provide representation in individual cases, but they also can provide: clinics, often staffed by pro bono attorneys, where legal problems can be identified and addressed on-site or scheduled for additional assistance if needed; advice and self-help materials (delivered via workshops, telephone help lines, online chat tools, downloadable court forms, etc.) that help people understand their rights and responsibilities, when legal assistance may be needed and where to find it, and get assistance with self-representation when necessary; and referrals to other social services as appropriate. To find an organization offering legal aid in your area, enter the city and state, zip code, or complete address using the search function at the top of the page.
