Legal Aid Societies

Legal Aid Societies are non-profit organizations that provide free or low-cost legal assistance to individuals who cannot afford an attorney. They help people with various legal issues, such as family law, housing disputes, immigration, and criminal defense. These societies aim to ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, has access to justice and legal representation. They often operate through a network of staff lawyers and volunteers, and they may also offer community education about legal rights and responsibilities.
