The legal services programs listed below may be able to help you with your family law problem. When you contact a program, please be ready to give them information about your income so they can decide if you qualify for their services. If your income places you above the program's guidelines for legal services, you should call the Reduced Fee or Lawyer Referral Programs. You should also consult the yellow pages or with friends to recommend a lawyer for you.
Many programs can only assist with certain types of cases.
Please keep in mind that these programs, have limited resources and may not be able to help you. However, they will try to assist you as best they can by either having a staff attorney advise or represent you or by referring you to a lawyer.
