The people at CLS were great. They returned phone calls promptly and answered all questions. The volunteer attorney was very helpful with information regarding my case. He provided me with tips and pointers which helped me to get a favorable outcome in Court.

Community Legal Services can help qualifying Arizonans with some types of civil cases.

“Most Americans don’t realize that you can have your home taken away, your children taken away and you can be a victim of domestic violence but you have no constitutional right to a lawyer to protect you.”

— James J. Sandman, President of the Legal Services Corporation, 2013

Civil legal aid helps ensure fairness for all in the justice system, regardless of how much money you have. It provides access to legal help for people to protect their livelihoods, their health, and their families. Civil legal aid connects Americans with a range of services including legal assistance and representation, self-help centers and other court-based services, free legal clinics and pro-bono assistance, and access to web-based information and form that help guide them through complicated legal proceedings. In doing so, civil legal aid helps Americans protect their livelihoods, their health, and their families.

Civil legal aid provides:

  • Easy-to-understand forms, including online forms, that people can use in civil legal proceedings.
  • Legal assistance, including legal self-help centers, so people can know their rights.
  • Legal representation to those who cannot afford it — because justice should not depend on how much money you have.
