Legal Aid Services

Legal aid services provide free or low-cost legal assistance to individuals who cannot afford a lawyer. These services typically cover civil matters, such as family law, housing issues, and immigration, but may also assist in some criminal cases. Legal aid organizations aim to ensure that everyone, regardless of financial status, has access to legal representation and can navigate the legal system effectively. Funding for legal aid often comes from government sources, donations, and grants, and these services are crucial for protecting the rights of marginalized and low-income individuals.
