Who We Are

This site is created through a partnership of Kentucky's four legal aid programs and the Kentucky Access to Justice Commission. Together, we are the Legal Aid Network of Kentucky.

What We Do

Provide legal self-help resources, information, and referrals to people in need of civil legal representation.

Why We Do It

We believe all individuals deserve access to justice.

 

We strive to resolve the most important problems of
low-income and other vulnerable people.

We provide high quality legal assistance through direct representation,
education, advice, advocacy and coordination with other community resources.

We support this mission by

  • Direct representation
  • Educating individuals on their legal topic
  • Providing legal guidance and advice
  • Advocacy efforts
  • Coordinating with other community resources

How We Define Success

We define success as reducing the brutal effects of poverty on those trapped in the justice gap.
