The Helpline is open Monday through Friday 9AM-12PM.
Can I get a free attorney?
Most callers will not be eligible for a free attorney.
Helpline advocates can help you find out if you are eligible and complete an application for services with a Massachusetts civil legal services program.
Legal services law types include:
Social Security/SSI
Veterans Benefits
Mass Health
Medicare
Consumer
Public Benefits
Unemployment
Foreclosures
Utilities
Guardianship
Wills/Advance Directives
Bankruptcy
Housing
Family law
Nursing Home
If you are not eligible for a free attorney and have some ability to pay an attorney, we can refer you to reduced fee attorney referral programs where attorneys will charge you on a sliding scale based on your income.
