We Make Equal Justice Happen
Since 1963, Legal Aid of Nebraska has worked to provide disadvantaged individuals with quality legal advice and representation—something that those more fortunate take for granted. Legal Aid tackles inequality and increases opportunity for low-income Nebraskans by helping clients navigate their way through a complex and often intimidating legal system. Our clients achieve positive outcomes that measurably improve the quality of their lives, help them get up and out of poverty, and increase family stability. To best accomplish this, Legal Aid targets the most pressing legal problems keeping clients in poverty: lack of good housing, jobs, and benefits; the burden of predatory and high-interest debt; and the acute absence of family stability and safety. Legal Aid attorneys provide a full range of civil legal services, from brief advice and counsel, to assistance with self-representation, to direct representation in court. This work makes justice a reality for thousands of low-income Nebraskans, and achieves outcomes that help address the causes and effects of poverty. When low-income Nebraskans have access to a lawyer to protect their rights or to enforce helpful laws, “equal justice” is more than just words, it is reality.
