Who Qualifies for Legal Aid?

Legal aid organizations typically serve people who:

Have income below 125-200% of federal poverty level
Have civil (not criminal) legal issues
Face issues like housing, family, consumer, or benefits matters

Note: Small claims cases are often not covered by legal aid because they are designed for self-representation. However, legal aid can help with related issues or provide brief advice.
