Bridging the Justice Gap.

Supporting marginalized communities to ensure fairness, protection, and justice for all.

How can we help?

We serve vulnerable individuals and families facing urgent civil legal issues who cannot afford an attorney. Each year, we go beyond legal advice to meet people where they are, helping stabilize families, prevent homelessness, and protect survivors.

PUBLIC BENEFITS

We help you understand and navigate public benefit programs, ensuring you receive the support you deserve.

CONSUMER AND GENERAL LAW

Financial stability matters. We assist with legal concerns related to bankruptcy, debt collection, credit, and estate planning to help you regain control of your finances and provide a legacy.

HOUSING

We believe safe, stable housing is essential. We work to protect tenants from wrongful evictions, unsafe living conditions, and housing discrimination and help you resolve disputes and stay securely housed.

FAMILY LAW

We offer guidance in cases involving domestic violence, divorce, custody, support, and intra-family adoption.

DISASTER RECOVERY

When a natural disaster occurs, the aftermath can be overwhelming. We offer legal support to help you handle issues like property damage, insurance claims, and lost documents, so you can rebuild.

CHILD IN NEED OF CARE

We stand up for vulnerable children by providing them with dedicated legal representation during difficult and often traumatic times. Our goal is to protect their safety and secure a stable home.

Do you need to apply for legal assistance?

ALSC offers three options to apply for legal assistance. You can call on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm., or on Thursday from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Online applications are available 24/7 for your convenience. Intake appointments are scheduled to complete the application process. Be sure to follow us on social media for the latest updates on intake hours and office closures.

Check your eligibility.

All applicants for legal services must first complete an eligibility check. Review the eligibility guidelines to help determine if you are financially eligible here. Please note that filling out an online application does not make you a client of any legal aid program in Louisiana and does not establish an attorney-client relationship. This application is the first step in determining if we can assist you with your case. Your personal financial information will not be shared with the program until they decide there is no “conflict of interest” in taking your case.

We advocate for fairness, protection, and justice.

Our priorities are at the forefront of our mission – to preserve the family, home, and individual rights; to maintain economic stability, safety, and health; to secure generational wealth; to enhance community development.

Our Impact

We serve vulnerable individuals and families facing critical legal challenges without the means to afford an attorney. Each year, we strive to meet people where they are by going beyond legal advice to help stabilize families, prevent homelessness, and protect survivors.

Partners and Programs

Acadiana Legal Service Corporation (ALSC) works to provide free civil legal services to our client community for over 65% of the total parishes in Louisiana. We believe that justice should never depend on how much money you have. Yet every day across our service area, individuals and families face eviction, domestic violence, loss of benefits, or denial of healthcare – all without the legal help they need to protect their rights.

With your support, ALSC can continue to meet our clients where they are – in shelters, rural communities, courthouses, and aboard our mobile Justice Busses – delivering free civil legal services that change lives. Whether it’s helping a veteran secure housing, assisting a senior with a benefits appeal, or representing a parent fighting custody and safety, your partnership ensures that vulnerable Louisianans do not face these challenges alone.
