Georgia Legal Services Program

"The legal help I received from Georgia Legal Services allowed me and my 6 year old son to remain in our home, rather than face homelessness. To all single mothers, you know words cannot describe this kind of gratitude! Thank you so much for this service. You are super heroes to me and my small family. Keep fighting the good fight."  – A.M.

For more than 50 years, Georgia Legal Services Program has helped Georgians with low incomes, seniors, and our most vulnerable populations protect their legal rights, create better futures for themselves and their families, and gain peace of mind. 

GLSP provides free civil legal services to individuals with low incomes and senior citizens.  Our services are provided free of charge to eligible clients and include legal representation in court and administrative hearings, community education programs, special projects, disaster legal assistance, legal clinics, hotline programs, and referrals to private attorneys and other services.

GLSP's 10 offices throughout the state serve 154 of Georgia’s 159 counties, including the most rural areas where lack of transportation, little (if any) internet access, and other challenges can create barriers to justice and opportunity.  GLSP attorneys and advocates regularly travel to these areas, providing assistance with critical legal needs such as orders of protection for domestic violence victims, eviction prevention assistance for families and individuals, and access to essential public benefits such as SNAP (food stamps), health insurance through Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids, and more.

Already this year, GLSP has closed over 12,600 cases for our clients throughout the state.  This includes more than 3,800 cases we have handled for domestic violence survivors and their families, and more than 3,900 cases for Georgia seniors.  

"I wanted to get my affairs in order. I have numerous health issues. I must have called 10 lawyers from the yellow pages. Someone gave me GLSP's phone number. I can now rest and feel my children will have it easier when my time comes." - J.A.

Your gift will be used to resolve critical legal problems for low income Georgians in civil (non-criminal) cases involving loss of housing, domestic violence, unemployment, inability to access health care, school discipline, individual rights, food stamps, disabilities advocacy, language barriers, and other special needs.

“I didn’t just have an attorney by my side. I had a caring friend. 

We can never thank Georgia Legal Services enough.”  – S.L.
