Legal Aid Owensboro

Kentucky Legal Aid (KLA) provides free civil justice services to low-income residents of western and south-central Kentucky. We do not conduct criminal proceedings. If you wish to request legal services, you must call the KLA admissions office at 1-866-452-9243 (toll-free) or 270-782-5740 (local call for Warren County, Kentucky). You can call the intake line from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Thursday (central time zone). Kentucky Legal Aid`s mission is to support and empower low-income families, seniors, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable people in south-central and western Kentucky to address legal issues that are barriers to self-sufficiency and enable them to improve their quality of life. Eligibility for KLA assistance depends on your income and assets and the nature of the problem you are experiencing. As a result, you will be asked about your income and the type of problem you need help with determining if you qualify for legal services. The general income threshold to qualify for a full range of services is 110% of the federal poverty line, which changes every April. There are also asset limits (money in bank accounts, real estate, etc.).

KLA admissions staff can refer you to your local KLA office or another agency for assistance. When recommendations are made, our employees try to make the best recommendation possible. However, we cannot guarantee that the agency or program to which you are referred will be able to represent you. Have you ever used this desk for anything?
