South Carolina Legal Services (SCLS) provides free legal assistance in a wide range of civil (non-criminal) legal matters to eligible low-income residents of South Carolina.
SCLS handles civil (as opposed to criminal) cases that do not incur a fee.
A case in which a fee is due is one in which the attorney receives payment for a settlement or judgment in the client's favor.
Their income guidelines are based on the Federal Guidelines for the Fight against Poverty.
If you meet their income guidelines and have the type of civil legal matter they can handle, you will qualify for their services.
