Disclaimer

Please read carefully before continuing.

Using the Louisiana Legal Navigator does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and the Louisiana Bar Foundation, this tool, or any of the legal service providers that may be listed. Completing the screening or submitting information through this tool is not the same as receiving legal advice or entering into a formal agreement for legal representation.

The purpose of this tool is to help you better understand your potential legal needs and to check whether you may qualify for free or reduced-cost legal services. Based on your answers, the Navigator may provide referrals to trusted nonprofit legal aid providers or direct you to public resources that may be useful in addressing your situation.

By continuing, you confirm that you have read and understood this disclaimer and that you consent to the use of your information for referral and resource purposes only.

Custom Disclaimer

Some legal aid providers have limits on the types of cases they can accept. For example:

‍

Certain organizations cannot provide assistance with immigration matters due to federal restrictions.
Others may only serve people within a specific parish, income range, or citizenship status.

‍

If your situation does not qualify for help from one provider, the Navigator will offer other resources or referrals when possible.
