Legal Aid helps people with low-income. Households with income less than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines may qualify.
In addition to inquiring about income, we prioritize cases where people face significant risk and Legal Aid attorneys can make a positive difference. Legal Aid has limited resources and cannot help everyone. All requests and referrals for Legal Aid services are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
The current (2023) income guidelines are:
| Family size: | Annual Income (125%) |
Annual Income (200%) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $22,763 | $36,420 |
| 2 | $30,800 | $49,280 |
| 3 | $38,838 | $62,140 |
| 4 | $46,875 | $75,000 |
| 5 | $54,913 | $87,860 |
| 6 | $62,950 | $100,720 |
| 7 | $70,988 | $113,580 |
Again, because of limited resources - income is not the only criteria for a new Legal Aid case. Contact us to see if your case is one we can handle.
