legal aid offices
Free lawyer services
Legal aid offices are organizations that provide free or low-cost legal services to people who cannot afford private attorneys.
They typically handle civil matters like housing disputes, family law, immigration, and public benefits cases.
Most legal aid offices have income requirements—you must fall below a certain threshold to qualify for their services.
