Q: Is there a income guideline to qualify for Legal Aid?
I want to file for a divorce, but I can't afford the retainer fee or any other fees.
A: These are county by county guidelines. You will have to apply at your specific local legal aid office to determine your eligibility for services.

A:
Yes, there is a financial guideline as well as other guidelines. They don't always accept divorce cases.

A: You will need to contact your local legal aid office to inquire about their income guidelines and if they would be able to provide you with assistance. You can also try contacting the state bar to see if there are any pro bono attorneys in your area. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
