About
Founded 1963
Established in 1963, Legal Aid of Nebraska has been dedicated to offering essential legal guidance and representation to those in need, which is often overlooked by the more privileged. By addressing systemic inequality, Legal Aid boosts opportunities for low-income residents of Nebraska as they navigate a legal landscape that can be both complex and daunting. Our support leads clients toward favorable outcomes that significantly enhance their lives, assist them in breaking free from poverty, and foster greater family stability. To achieve these objectives effectively, we focus on crucial legal challenges that trap clients in cycles of hardship: inadequate access to housing and employment opportunities; overwhelming predatory debt; and insufficient safety within family units. Our team of skilled attorneys offers comprehensive civil legal services encompassing brief consultations or self-representation assistance all the way through direct litigation support. This commitment transforms justice into an attainable goal for thousands struggling across Nebraska while tackling the root issues related to poverty. When individuals facing financial difficulties gain access to experienced lawyers who advocate for their rights or help enforce beneficial laws, "equal justice" transcends mere rhetoric—it becomes a tangible reality.
