We support our low-income community members in their civil (non-criminal) legal problems in Clark County. Read on to learn about how we do this, some of the types of legal problems we help with, and the best way to get help-depending on your need. We provide advice and some full representation to clients in the process of filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

We're on all the major social media platforms. Follow us on these channels, "like" and share our posts and help us build awareness of the good work we do. Look up your local legislators and drop them a line. Remind them that legal aid is a front-line response and in times of crisis, it's more important than ever to ensure people have equitable access to the courts.

As always, if you are concerned about being evicted, or need help talking to your landlord, call us at 360-334-4007. Tenants are encouraged to work with their landlords on repayment plans as soon as possible. Remember: you are still responsible to pay back rent from the moratorium, so if you're having trouble making that work-get help at the resources below.

We get tired of reading things too. Check out our ever-growing collection of videos that serve as quick "how-tos", information on certain laws and policies, and some sweet videos from community partners that do the same.
