Legal Aid Directory

Legal issues often arise when you least expect and usually at an inconvenient time. It’s not always easy to figure out if you need a lawyer, and, unfortunately, the cost of hiring one sometimes keeps people from getting the help they need.

Fortunately, there are providers at the national and state levels that offer free or low-cost legal help to those in need. This might be a self-help center at a law school or courthouse where law students can help you fill out legal forms or a lawyer referral service through your local bar association. Or it may be a free consultation with a lawyer to help sort out your legal problems and plot a course forward. Sometimes, these organizations even work with highly reputable law firms, offering their attorneys pro bono (no cost) legal help.

The type of free legal help available to you depends on what area of law you need help with. Some only deal with cases such as domestic violence or family law. Other nonprofits only deal with property issues such as foreclosure and eviction.

I have spent most of my professional life helping people who were being taken advantage of by systems they did not fully understand. As an attorney, I represented consumers against predatory lending practices and worked in elder law protecting seniors from fraud. My family lost $239,145 to identity theft, which became the foundation for my seniorgard.onlime and deepened my commitment to financial education. Since 2008, I have maintained a blog at timothymccandless.wordpress.com providing free financial education. Not behind a paywall. Free, because financial literacy should not cost money. I trade with real money using the exact strategy described in this book. My current positions: Pfizer at $16,480 deployed generating $77,900 per year net. Verizon at $29,260 deployed generating $51,000 per year net. Combined: 293% annualized pace. These are my only active positions. Not cherry-picked.
