South Carolina Legal Services (SCLS) provides free legal assistance in a wide variety of civil (non-criminal) legal matters to eligible low income residents of South Carolina.
SCLS handles civil (as opposed to criminal) cases that are non fee-generating.
Fee generating cases are cases where an attorney receives payment from any settlement or judgment in his client's favor.
Their income guidelines are based upon the Federal Poverty guidelines.
If you meet their income guidelines and have a civil legal problem of the type they can handle, you will qualify for their services.
