Legal Aid of North Carolina
The Triangle
Legal Aid of North Carolina is a statewide, nonprofit law firm that provides free legal services in civil matters to low-income people in order to ensure equal access to justice and to remove legal barriers to economic opportunity.
Legal Aid of North Carolina is an innovative , creative , progressive , and efficient civil legal service provider to the poor, working toward an inclusive justice system. All voices are valued, heard, and respected.
Unlike criminal cases, there is no guaranteed right to an attorney in civil legal matters, cases involving eviction, domestic violence, or loss of benefits, to name a few. For thousands who cannot afford a lawyer, this means facing some of life’s toughest battles completely alone, without the guidance or support they desperately need. This is where Legal Aid steps in, providing a voice and hope when it feels like the odds are stacked against you.
We are the only civil legal services provider in North Carolina with a presence in every single county, 100 counties, 100 communities. In 2025 alone, we handled over 25,000 cases. Our clients aren’t just those without jobs; over half are hardworking individuals striving to support their families despite living paycheck to paycheck.
