Get Legal Help

First, let’s make sure the legal help you need is the type we offer.

Note: During this confidential screening, you will be asked a series of questions and may be asked to provide some documents to verify your answers. If you are eligible for assistance, you will then be assigned to a staff attorney or volunteer lawyer from the DuPage County Bar Association who will help you going forward. If you do not qualify, the staff member with whom you have your initial screening will help point you in the right direction for other resources.

Step two is to complete the confidential intake questionnaire. You may be asked to verify some of the answers you provide, and/or supply documents to accompany your request for legal assistance. Once your information is confirmed, you will then be assigned to a staff attorney or volunteer lawyer from the DuPage County Bar Association who will help you going forward. If for some reason you are not eligible, the staff member with whom you have your initial screening will point you in the right direction for other resources.
