Clients

If you are in need of free legal assistance and meet our client criteria, you can call or email our staff, or submit your inquiry on our contact page. We will set up a meeting with you and an attorney to determine what your legal needs are and how to best address them.

If you are not a fully formed tax exempt organization and would like assistance applying for 501(c)(3) status, we are happy to assist you in that process as well.

If you decide to move forward in receiving assistance from LGP, you will be sent an Engagement Letter detailing the type of work, attorney, and hours we are offering.

You will then be matched with an attorney who will assist wherever possible to meet your specified goals, and LGP will pay the attorney's billable hours on your behalf.

Attorneys

LGP will gather all necessary client information and reach out to a partner attorney. The attorney will receive the project description, estimation of hours, and hourly rate and can decide if they would like to take on the matter. If so, you will be matched with the client. Upon completion of work, the attorney will submit their billable hours to LGP.

If you are an attorney who is not currently partnered with us but would like to be, fill out the form on our contact page or message us below and we will be in contact soon!
