The Legal Aid Society receives many requests for assistance. In order to most efficiently utilize its limited resources, guidelines have been established. They are based on the type of case, financial guidelines, as well as our resources.

General Assistance

We are not able at this time to respond to emails requesting our assistance. Our office is also not prepared to handle “walk-in” applicants. If you have an emergency, please try and call first. You may call for legal assistance at Call: 407-841-8310, and then please choose option 1.

Appointment calls are taken Monday through Thursday from 9:00AM until Noon and from 1:30PM until 3:00PM. We also accept calls for appointments most Saturdays from 9:00AM until Noon. An appointment will be made for all those who appear to qualify for our services.

Below we have listed areas of law that we handle. Please be aware that even if your case falls in an area of law that we handle, we may not be able to take your case due to limited resources.
