Why Your Gift Is Needed

Legal Aid provides needed services. Over 35,000 people with immediate legal needs but without the means to hire an attorney received help from Legal Aid in 2008.

Legal Aid is the only provider of free civil legal representation in central northeast Ohio. No other group can provide this service.

An investment in Legal Aid is a smart investment. Every dollar spent on Legal Aid saves many that would otherwise be spent on additional social services and ongoing governmental support. Appropriate legal intervention can lead to self-sufficiency, reducing costs to our economy, judicial system, and communities.

Legal Aid needs your help to bridge the gap between funding and need. With current funding, Legal Aid can only help one-in-four people who need our help. Every dollar contributed brings Legal Aid one step closer to providing Justice for All.

The Impact of Your Gift

“ The help I received was the greatest. My attorney was a moral support beyond belief. You have no idea how it feels to take on a company and not be able to afford legal counsel. To have had that was the greatest help a person could have. Your organization is a Godsend to the "little guy."
