Most law is state-specific. Most common legal problems are governed by the law in the state where you live or where the problem occurred. When looking for legal help, ensure that the information you find applies to your state, or that the lawyer or other service provider is qualified to work in your state.

The American Bar Association has a web site with guidelines about free legal services and links to directories of legal aid offices and pro-bono programs. Go to: http://www.abanet.org.

Legal Services or Legal Aid offices have staff lawyers to provide free legal help to low-income  clients. The lawyers are usually experts in the types of problems that low-income clients often have. Look in the yellow pages for a local Legal Aid office or check online for the program nearest you.
