I was thinking about filing bankruptcy 3 years ago, called in about it but the fee they said they were charging I couldn't afford, so i never thought about it again.Three years later today, i had some unfurnate events happen that made me want to reconsider bankruptcy. I called legal aid, to be told they still had an active case for me from three years ago and she did not know if she should open a new case. So she referred me to a lady name Rhonda Tucker; who's tone was unpleasant as soon as she called me. She proceeded to tell me that it had been 3 years and that lawyer did not have to take on my case and it would be closed and I needed to start a new case. I asked why didn't the other lady tell me that I would have done that yesterday, she responded and said well you waited three years. I replied, "wow, that was rude, and unecessary you don't know my situation and she said ok and hung up. Then I called the main line and wanted to start a new bankrutcy ticket and someone trannsferred me to her again, for her to tell me sorry we are no longer accepting new applications. Wow, talk about retaliation and rude service. I know there service is free but I would still expect some type of customer courtesy. I will file bankruptcy myself before I will ever call this company again.

Inadequate paralegals! I was able to conduct my own independent research that CLEARLY contradicted what they supposedly found. I'm convinced that they're under the impression that those requesting their assistance are not capable of obtaining a second opinion. I'm also convinced that, they all just sit behind a desk and respond to possible clients with the same lazy line "We are unable to help you" SAD! I'm pretty sure that the couple of people who gave good ratings, either work for this organization or are associated with them in some form or fashion. A waste of government funds!

Ever though they couldn't provide me services in court, they were very helpful with giving me advice and pulling up paperwork. I didn't have to go through Red Tape for. Also, resources for help was provided.

It's a scam. Don't waste your time. Just a few attorney's claiming to do pro bono work for their resumes. They will not help you even if the case is simple to work. Ghetto hood rat sounding phone answerers. Trust me don't waste your time, but if you insist just remember I told you so.

Legal Aid has helped me on several occasions.
Please understand that these attorneys are working pro bono (for free).
As such, in my own experience, they won't get back to you on YOUR time line. I had to wait weeks for an attorney to get back to me but she helped tremendouslyagain and it was free.
As they say, you get what you pay for but I do highly recommend legal aid as they can be very helpful. And have been in the past for me.

I should clarify, they'll set you up with an attorney relatively fast, but conversion between you and your attorney once they've been established may take a little work.

I didn't desire to give this horrible place one star! These unprofessional people were given 2 cases months ago, but I'm just hearing back from them that they were not taking either case. They had no good reason for denying further case, as I'd completed the investigation and groundwork. Losers!

I had to give one star to leave a review. Legal aide doesn't go to court for you or much advice either. They give you a lawyer referral Service that only refers lawyers that you have to pay for all services, no pro bono

Rolling over and dying like a cockroach, is not what the people who use this service deserve. Just because they need the help doesn't mean they and their families don't Matter. The people in this office should what to fight hard to help their clients, because they are what they can afford. Justice should not be determined by who can pay to make the matter at hand disappear. Bullying clients because they ask questions is wrong, when families are involved sometimes the smallest people count more than the money it take to fight in court.

As Many Problems I've Had Living In Apartments Legal Aid Doesn't Give Good Solution Or Advice To Problems By The Time The Courts Are Involve It's Too Late Once A Eviction Takes Places Only Then Legal Aid Steps In.... Ur Face To Deal With Even More Problems........

Over the course of two years, I got 3 different stories of why they couldn't help me until blank blank took place with my situation. Well all the blanks happened and each time I was given a non- helpful number. This place was a very BIG waste of time, I can't give zero stars but they definitely deserve that many!!!! I did get help from the Help Center in the main court house, their free and I won my case against my old Landlord. Whomever is reading this PLEASE go get free help right around the corner at the Main St. Court House!!!! The Sheriff's inside will direct you to the Help Center and they will help you the best way possible!

I had 2 problems that i needed help with. I left a message & my call was promptly returned. Based on my current needs for assistance, I would need to speak to 2 lawyers in their respective fields. Both lawyers returned my call the same day. I was not expecting such a quick response. Due to transportation problems, one lawyer, Steven came
to my home. I have been treated by them with the utmost kindness & respect. I feel the lawyers that work there are very passionate & wish they could help everyone that walks thru their doors & are troubled when they can't. Unfortunately, they are funded by the government & their hands are tied on how much they can do. They perform a service like no other & receive very little recognition. I feel very grateful that they were able to assist me. Don t give up on them. If they weren't able to assist you now, don't give up on them entirely, you may need their assistance in future.

I didn't spend enough time here to give a helpful opinion. What I can say is that the intake clerk got me in, I was seen in 5 minutes time. I can edit my review if my experience with this organization expands. **Update, my experience with this organization will not be expanding at this time. According to a letter I received, Legal Aid receives 30,000 calls each year. I'm sure that this High volume of calls is why careful consideration of cases and their nature is at the root of their decision to take on only specific cases. Legal Aid is a viable resource for people who are in need of legal representation and their income does not exceed a certain amount. Although it is entirely true, I dislike typing or saying it out loud, 'the working poor doesn't stand a chance in this society'. That is a truth that is hard too dismiss. Organizations as such are under too much pressure to meet the needs of the public.This organization and similar ones often lack the resources and manpower to impact more than a few. Don't let this deter you from getting representation if you need it. However, it is something to keep in mind. There's parking right next to the building. The parking is almost never Free. Be prepared to pay a minimum of $5 (bring a credit or debit card). There's also metered parking on the street. I forgot to pay close attention to what Metro routes run through this specific area. But the Metro comes very close to here. Definitely Walkable. There's an Elevator which makes this convenient for those who are not able to take the stairs. Always bring a current and valid form of identification. Doing so will also add ease to the process. Good Luck!

They are a scam, they get money from governent, and live you out to hang, I will be writing the bar to let them know they need to review there cases, and will call and write my congressman, this is appalling. A. Person is verbably, phicically abused, and is disabled, finely gets the guts to get out of a 20 year marriage, out Thier legal aid lawyer sales them out. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE, USE THE INTERNET, I WISH THAT I DID FOR MY SISTER, SHES PROBLEY GOING TO BE IN POVERTY FOR THE REST OF HER YEARS. AND STAY CLEAR OF THE HILLSBORO CO. COURT HOUSE AND ABUSE CENTER, THEY GOT IT ALL FIX HERE.
