You can search by state and county to find a non-profit offering free legal help to low-income persons in every state. The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) website allows you to search only for its grantees. The Legal Services Corporation is an independent federal agency funded by Congress. LSC funds legal services providers nationwide to provide free legal assistance to low-income people. For more information you can visit LSC's website.
