Legal Assistance

Updated:

June 18, 2021

Included in this list are organizations that provide free or low-cost legal services to victims and survivors of abuse, as well as to others who qualify. Even if the organization does not have a lawyer available to represent you in court, you may want to ask if there is a lawyer with whom you can consult to obtain advice. We list the organizations by the county where the office is located, but many offices serve multiple counties. We indicate the “counties served” whenever possible. You can click “View All” to look through the complete list of organizations.

Please note: WomensLaw does not have a relationship with or promote the organizations listed on these pages. Because we include thousands of resources, we cannot review them regularly or vouch for the information or services they provide. We share these resources to help all victims and survivors of abuse find essential direct services and support their needs and safety concerns.

Legal Assistance of Dakota County helps very low income people with family law problems, such as divorces, custody between parents, grandparent custody, and orders for protections. Our lawyers can represent you if you:

live in Dakota County
have a family law problem and
have a low income.

Our primary focus is Family Law, the most important area of law affecting low-income people. These cases frequently involve Child Custody and Visitation, Child Support, Divorce, and Domestic Abuse. LADC also addresses low-income needs in other areas of law, including Consumer Law, Criminal Record Expungement, Immigration, Schools, Social Services, Taxes and Youth.

Whether you qualify for our free legal help or not, you can participate in any of the free law clinics and information sessions held throughout Dakota County. Family Law Self-Help Centers are held several days each month and a Consumer Law Clinic is held weekly. Additional clinics and sessions covering other areas of law, such as tax information, immigration and criminal record expungement, are held on selected days throughout the year.
