Story
Every year, New Hampshire's civil legal system weighs thousands of disputes involving the basic rights and basic needs of people with low income. Despite the clear need for attorneys to assist clients in these matters, there is less than one legal aid attorney for every 10,000 low-income residents in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire Legal Assistance and 603 Legal Aid have to turn away too many applications for services not because the cases aren't important or that the cases can't be won, but because there is simply not enough time and resources to serve everyone.
By supporting the NH Campaign for Legal Services, you are helping NHLA and 603LA reach more people in more areas of the state. Your support enables legal aid staff to provide advice, guidance, and critical referrals. Just as importantly, your contribution gives assurance to people that someone is listening; that help is available; and legal aid will protect them.
Together, we can make this the time when equal access to justice becomes a reality for everyone in New Hampshire!
