Request Legal Help Online

from Statewide Legal Services of Connecticut

This online application will walk you step-by-step through applying for legal help.  It will ask you the questions that we need to ask people who apply for our help.  You will need to answer them so that we can understand your problem and see if we can help you.

Please read this first:

Statewide Legal Services of Connecticut (SLS) is a non-profit organization that provides free legal assistance to eligible people.  We take applications on a telephone hotline and on the internet with this application.  We can help with problems related to domestic violence, evictions, foreclosures, government benefits, family, health and other issues.

We can only help people with very low income, and we can't help everyone who applies for our help.

SLS serves people in all of Connecticut.  To apply, fill out this application or call our hotline. The hotline hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9am to 3pm, and Wednesdays from 1 to 3pm.  Our hotline number is 1-800-453-3320.

Please fill out just one application for a problem.

How does the interview work?

This interview will ask for information about you, your problem and any people, agencies or businesses causing your problem.  Because eligibility for SLS services may depend on your income and assets, we will ask you about the people who live with you.  We will ask about any income for people in your home, and any valuable property that you or others in your home may own.

What happens when I finish the interview?

At the end of the interview there is a "SEND" button that will submit your request for legal help to Statewide Legal Services.  Someone from our office will get in touch with you within 5 work days.
