Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid specializes in providing professional legal help to Minnesotans who traditionally lack access to the American justice system and cannot afford the services of a private attorney. These groups generally include people with low incomes, seniors and people with disabilities.
Legal Aid also provides access to self-help resources through LawHelpMN.org. It's a free website made for low-income Minnesotans who need help with legal problems. The site is written in easy language. Many of the materials on the site are in Spanish, Hmong, Russian, Somali and other languages. You can get up-to-date legal information, answer legal questions, and find court locations.
Legal aid attorneys provide a full range of legal assistance to eligible clients in the following areas:
- Housing
- Welfare
- Consumer problems
- Unemployment compensation
- Disability benefits
- Social Security
- Family law
- Employment law
- Immigration law
- Tax law
