Types of Free Legal Assistance Provided

Get Legal Aid

Apply for legal aid at the legal aid program that serves your county.  You can apply by telephone or online with Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, Legal Services of Southern Missouri, or the Legal Aid of Western Missouri.

Missouri Tenant Help

Many persons served by legal aid programs in Missouri may be facing eviction and are unable to get an attorney.  Sadly, we do not have the resources to serve all those who seek our help.

We are providing a link to the https://motenanthelp.org.  The site can help self-represented persons defend themselves.  The website can produce a document which a tenant can file with the court where their eviction is pending. Additionally, the website has tons of helpful information about evictions.

This is a carousel. Use the previous and next buttons to navigate.

October is Domestic Violence Month

Survivors of domestic violence seeking protective order are civil matters, not criminal.  Legal Aid programs in Missouri may be able to assist.  Apply with your local legal aid.
