When you’re facing a legal problem, it can be difficult to know where to turn. 

Maybe you’re worried about losing your home. Maybe you’re struggling to get the benefits you depend on. Maybe you’re experiencing domestic violence and need help protecting yourself and your family. Or maybe you simply don’t know what your rights are or what steps to take next. 

That’s where Lone Star Legal Aid comes in. 

Who does Lone Star Legal Aid help? 

Lone Star Legal Aid provides free civil legal services to eligible people who cannot afford an attorney. 

Our clients come from all walks of life and face a wide range of legal challenges. We help people with issues involving: 

  • Housing: Eviction, unsafe housing conditions, foreclosure, landlord-tenant disputes, and other housing problems. 
  • Family safety: Legal issues involving domestic violence and other situations where legal help can help protect survivors and their families. 
  • Public benefits: Problems accessing benefits such as Social Security, disability benefits, and other essential assistance. 
  • Consumer and economic issues: Debt collection, fraud, consumer problems, and other issues that can threaten a family’s financial stability. 
  • Veterans: Civil legal problems affecting veterans, surviving spouses, and veteran dependents. 
  • Seniors: Legal issues that can affect housing, financial security, benefits, and independence. 
  • Disability-related issues: Legal problems involving access to benefits, housing, and other areas of daily life. 
  • Other civil legal problems: A legal issue doesn’t have to fit neatly into one category to have a major impact on your life. 

You don’t have to face a legal problem alone. 

In 2025, Lone Star Legal Aid handled 27,973 cases that helped 67,153 people.
