Idaho Legal Aid Services, Inc. helps seniors and low-income people (60 years and older) in Idaho solve civil law problems. Our offices cannot assist in criminal cases. In order to determine if you qualify for assistance, our office needs to collect information about the specific legal issue you are asking for help with, as well as the income and assets of everyone living in your home. Before we can help you, we need to find out if you are eligible for our office`s services. Due to limited resources, our staff is not able to assist you with all legal issues. Our services address issues that affect basic needs, such as housing, income, medical care and family safety. You can also apply in person by visiting your local legal aid office in Idaho between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. There will be no personal check-in after 4:30 p.m. If you are allowed to speak to a lawyer, they will ask you questions about your legal problem. Please have all papers or documents regarding your problem handy when we contact you.
It will also be useful if you have important information such as the names of the people involved in the problem and their addresses and phone numbers.
