People living across 76 counties in our region can get free legal help through Lone Star Legal Aid when they can't afford an attorney. The organization handles civil legal problems like housing disputes, family law issues, and benefits appeals.
Families earning up to 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines qualify for services. That income limit changes each year based on federal guidelines. Some people earning more than that amount can still get help through special programs.
Lone Star Legal Aid only takes civil cases, not criminal ones. Civil cases include things like landlord problems, divorce proceedings, disability benefit denials, and consumer protection issues. Every phone call and meeting stays completely confidential.
Getting help starts with filling out an online application on their website. People can also call (800) 733-8394 if long distance charges are a concern. The organization has offices throughout the service area, so most people can find help close to home.
Visit Lone Star Legal Aid's website to apply online or find the nearest office location. Their staff can explain what documents to bring and walk people through the application process during that first phone call.
