The best way to find low-cost family law legal help is to search for a lawyer through your local bar association. Lawyers in the bar association will be able to refer you to a lawyer in your area who will meet with you for a fee of less than $50. It’s important to read the fee agreement very carefully to avoid surprises, but some attorneys don’t charge for certain types of cases. In addition, some lawyers charge nothing at all, meaning you only have to pay them if you win your case.
Another option is to visit a Legal Aid office. The Law HelpNY website can offer you legal advice for free. However, it is important to note that this service only provides legal information for civil law problems and cannot help you with criminal law issues. If you are concerned about your income, contact a Legal Aid office to learn if you qualify for free or low-cost legal help.
