| How to Get Help
The Legal Aid Society of DC provides free
legal assistance to individuals and families with little
or no income. We also provide social work services for clients
who we represent in their legal case. We assist people who
live in DC, Maryland and Virginia. But, we can only handle
cases that take place in DC. If your case is outside of
DC, we may be able to refer you to a legal services office
in another state. Legal Aid provides assistance regardless
of citizenship or ability to speak English.
