Legal Aid Society

Our mission is to enforce, advance and defend the legal rights of low income and vulnerable families in order to obtain for them the basic necessities of life. Legal Aid Society is committed to the principle that all citizens are due equal representation under the law.

We are able to provide some help to most people who need legal help. Resources for help include:

Representation to resolve a legal problem from a staff lawyer
Representation to resolve a legal problem from a volunteer lawyer
Advice and Counsel from a staff lawyer to help resolve a legal problem
Information from Legal Help Booklets developed by Legal Aid Society
Referral to a Free Legal Help Clinic staffed by Legal Aid Society and volunteer lawyers
Referral to other resources for help with problems like criminal problems, child support and immigration.
Referral to other free legal help

Our work is organized through five Practice Groups focusing on specific needs within our community:

Consumer
Employment
Family and Domestic Violence
Health, Income and Education
Housing

Kinds of Cases We Take

The help that we can provide will depend on the kind of problem. We will always help you find some resources for help and advice. We don’t have lawyers to help with every case. But a lawyer from Legal Aid Society or our Volunteer Lawyers Program may be able to represent you in the following kinds of cases:

» Employment Cases
» Family and Domestic Violence Cases
» Health and Benefits Cases
» Housing Cases
» Money Cases

We also have Legal Help Booklets on this website. They may help you with your legal problem.

If you want to talk to a lawyer for advice about your problem, you can come to a Free Legal Help Clinic. Click to see times and dates for legal advice.

You can also go on-line and ask a lawyer a question. Click here for TNFreeLegal Answers.

We only take legal problems and cases that you yourself can’t go to jail for.

If you have a criminal case, you need to call the Public Defender’s office.
