Application for Legal Services

Introduction
Welcome to the Neighborhood Legal Services Association Online Application. This site allows you to apply for legal help from NLSA over the internet. You MUST complete all steps to successfully submit your application. When you have completed all required pages, you will receive a confirmation message that you can print for your records. Your application will not be processed if all pages are not completed. This is page 1. There are 6 more pages to complete.

If you have a short deadline or have trouble using this tool, please call 866-761-6572 during our intake hours, Monday - Friday, from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm, for help.

If you are a victim of abuse, learn about internet safety before you use this program. If you think you are in immediate danger, call 911 right away!

If at any time you do not agree with a decision of NLSA, you may file a grievance. To do this, contact us at 1-866-761-6572 or view our grievance process on our website.
How do I use this site?
To move between the screens, please answer the questions and use the buttons that will appear on the bottom of the screen. You may also use the Navigation Menu on the left-hand side of your screen to return to a previous section. Do Not use your browser’s back button! If you do, you may lose the information you have entered and need to start over. When you see blue underlined text, these are links to other web sites with helpful information.

What we handle
We provide free legal services to low-income people and families for civil but not criminal matters. We cannot help with traffic tickets or criminal cases but can help with expungements and pardons.
Acknowledge
We cannot accept every case, and you do not become a client unless we tell you that we accept your case. You will hear from us by phone or letter if we can accept your case.

I have read the information above and agree.
