Last year, Legal Aid provided free civil legal aid that impacted over 25,000 low-income Nebraskans through over 11,000 cases. This is a huge amount of direct legal assistance, representing low-income clients with some of life’s toughest legal challenges. To accomplish this, Legal Aid provides a full range of civil legal services, from brief advice and counsel, to assistance with self representation, to pro bono and direct service referrals, to direct representation in local, state, and federal court. With a staff of over 40 attorneys and offices in eight locations, Legal Aid “makes equal justice happen” for its low-income clients.
