If you’re one of the nearly 600,000 Kentuckians living in poverty, paying for an attorney is just not an option. That’s where the Legal Aid Society steps in.

Since 1921, the Legal Aid Society has intervened in urgent legal matters on behalf of our neighbors who live in poverty. Our typical client lives well below the poverty line and faces multiple threats associated with poverty.

Thanks to the intervention of Legal Aid, many clients are able to escape abuse and rebuild their lives. They are able to obtain and keep meaningful employment. And they are able to hold on to their financial resources and create a stable home life for their families.
