How it works

How 24HourLegalAid Works

1. Figure out what kind of problem you have

Use the free triage tool, browse our guides, or ask FirstStep AI a question, any time of day. Everything here is general information meant to help you understand your situation before you talk to anyone.

2. Get a free, personalized read

Use the free AI situation-assessment tool for a more personalized, educational look at your circumstances, based on what you tell us about your category, deadlines, and paperwork.

3. Request a free case review

When you're ready, submit the contact form or call the number on this site. There's no cost and no obligation to move forward with any attorney we connect you with.

4. Talk to a licensed attorney

An independent, licensed attorney in your state will review the details of your situation and let you know your realistic options, including any short deadlines that may apply.

What we never do

We never charge you for information, tools, or a case review. We never guarantee a specific outcome. And we never share your information for purposes unrelated to helping you find legal help, except as described in our privacy policy.
