Eligibilty for SMLS Services

SMLS seeks to make its services accessible to as many residents as possible. This access may be limited to legal advice because we do not have enough staff to handle all of the requests for services.

En nuestra oficina hay personas que hablan Espanñol y Portugués para servir las comunidades hispana, portuguésa, y brasileña. Proveemos servícios legales civiles sin costo para personas que cúmplen con nuestros requisitos de eligibilidad y que viven en la área geográfica que se encuentra en la página anterior.

Services are available to residents who live in the communities served by SMLS, meet the income guidelines established by the Legal Services Corporation, and whose requests for help fall within the priorities listed in CASES HANDLED.
