Multiple of their lawyers didn’t return my calls. One finally did and referred me to an amazing lawyer who has nothing to legal aid, BUT WATCH OUT! I agreed to pay the $19 dollars after the $1 charge to keep my account with them just in case. I no longer needed their services so I called and cancelled, but was still being charged a monthly $18 fee. Turns out they work with another company who was charging me another monthly fee for “protection”? So even though my account was cancelled I was still being charged to protect it? I was not told about this and was not given information to call and cancel this if I call to cancel my legal aid account. I had to call the 800 number that was on the charge with my bank. All legal aid said was “well why don’t you call them to handle it.” The protection services will not refund me even though my account was cancelled.

They don't help with eviction cases they worthless to use very worthless to a point everybody says use them don't it's a waste of time.

Attorney lied and forced me to pay admission of guilt.

Useless. Absolutely useless. A waste of time yours! Do not bother calling. Again not put in place to help you truly!!

Legal-aid-now has been a total waist of my time. They say they will help my better half when they are needed. Well they didn't tell you that they charge $1.90 for the first 7 days, and if things aren't resolved it would be 19.99 for x-amount of weeks or whatever. Well my better half had filed a PPO non domestic relationship against a neighbor for threats of gun fire, two attempts of arson, breaking out the windows, firing gun shots into our home, and I could go on. Filed hundreds of police reports with the span of 14 years, and nothing got done to the neighbor. The police are just as bad, and neither one of us can afford to move. If we could we would have a long time ago. We are both on disability, and can't afford to hire an attorney. The neighbor filed a motion to terminate, and we need a lawyer badly but got no where. The service is a joke. WE NEED AN ATTORNEY BADLY, NO THANKS TO THIS COMPANY WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE ONE! So my better half will just let the PPO get terminated.

Legal aid is a joke twice I applied with these people to say the least I pasted both time and it seemed like it took forever just to be told you qualify but your case is not worth are time im on a fixed income im on disability cos of my cancer got diagnosed with stage four cancer 3 years ago and had to retire so I've have so serious things happened to me in the last couple of years just to have the door 🚪 slam in my face they tell you qualify but it's kind of like saying it's not worth our time and there always coming out on local news by say we're here for you the people of this city and Counties we're here to help anyone who can't afford a lawyer and we're here for free depending on your income I really think it's more like it depends on your last name or the color of your skin cos I can't afford a real lawyer, so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place cos I qualify cos of my disability of income but not worth there time and I don't have the millions to hire a real lawyer and iv hit a dead end and thus last some individuals came to my door selling there services and there local and started some work a some projects like tree trimming mowing the lawn for a great deal I couldn't refuse so we made the deal and shook hand like I've done a million times before and never had any problems with other land scappers but this time I came across so scam artist ask me for an advance out of the deal we made for a total was $225.00 I gave them $150.00 bucks and they to the money and didn't even do have the job left me hanging in more ways then one and I gave them the money cos they claimed one of there equipment they we're using broke and they needed $150.00 bucks cos that's what the part was gonna cost them to get it fixed never will that happen again and I need help to keep this from happening to others like older people like me or the elderly cos I do know if I was the first sucker or amongst other and like I said there locals these scammers I don't want these to happen to someone else they need to be stopped legally but I don't have the resources to stop this from these scammers to keep from stealing innocent people's money leaving them high and dry cos it may not seem like $150.00 bucks cash is pennies to the dollar to some people especially legal aid but when your on disability and on a fixed income you got to watch every penny unfortunately money dont grow on my trees it may to others by not on my trees cos like my first experience when it sounds to good to be true 9 times out of 10 it's a scam it is and now I probably ain't never gonna see my money again but I'll keep trying I've only got names and phone numbers but no addresses and the County where I'm from jp's office at the courthouse told me if you have no addresses we can't send out letters so small claims court summons them to court cos this is my first time I've done this has happened to me that I can recall ever so I am mad to say the least etc.

I was approved for legal aid and two years later, just 2 weeks prior to the hearing, they abandoned me, even though they stated I was in the right. House lawyer, Toni, is absolutely incompetent and useless. What a joke! They stand by you till the hearing comes! Legal aid is nothing but a waste of time and if you have no choice, be sure to see anyone but Toni because she's uneducated and careless.

What service ? I've had a few cases over the past 28 months with Legal Aid and I'll rate the service 10%. I even lodged a complaint in February 2024 at Legal Aid and it's stated that I'd be contacted with regards to my complaint within 2 days. It's now close to 2 months later and I got nothing back.
