Description
Legal Services Alabama (LSA) has seven offices and a centralized intake call center working together to fulfill its mission statement:
- To serve low-income people by providing civil legal aid and by promoting collaboration to find solutions to problems of poverty.
- These offices are located in Birmingham, Dothan, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, Selma and Tuscaloosa. The u.s. Department of Health and Human Services establishes the income amounts used to determine eligibility.
- They usually change early each year.
- Check the current poverty levels.
- The LSA eligibility level is 125% of the poverty level.
- LSA recognizes that each client's situation and legal issue is different.
- If your households income is more than 125% of the federal poverty level, you may still qualify for our services.
- LSA also has special grants to assist vulnerable populations that are not income based such as our elder grants to assist clients 60 and over.
- LSA offices handle civil cases only.
- Each office has lawyers licensed to practice in Alabama and other staff who know how to help low-income people resolve their legal problems.
