Legal Aid Chicago Bankruptcy Court Help Desk VISTA
 
 
 
For over 50 years, Legal Aid Chicago, formerly LAF, has provided free civil legal assistance to people living in poverty in metropolitan Chicago. Each year Legal Aid Chicago’s attorneys, volunteers, and staff help resolve legal problems, including domestic violence, consumer fraud, and unfair evictions. In addition to representing individuals in court and administrative hearings, we run community legal clinics, provide know-your-rights workshops, and work with community-based organizations to address emerging issues as well as persistent problems that affect low-income families. Our work impacts more than 40,000 people each year.
