Southeast Louisiana Legal Services (SLLS) fights for fairness for vulnerable people. We provide free, civil legal aid to low-income people in six offices, across 22 parishes throughout southeast Louisiana. Our six offices are located in Baton Rouge, Covington, Hammond, Harvey, Houma, and New Orleans. Everyday we:

• protect domestic violence victims,
• empower abused and neglected children by giving them a voice in their lives and the courtroom,
• preserve housing for hard-working families,
• end homelessness for people with disabilities and veterans,
• protect elderly consumers,
• remove barriers to access medical care,
• improve access to employment and education for vulnerable people,
• and so much more.

SLLS delivers critical legal services through its staff of 100, pro bono attorneys, and other volunteers to help low-income people meet life's most basic needs: food, healthcare, housing and safety.

In 2017, we protected the legal rights of approximately 28,000 vulnerable people. Our direct economic impact from these services topped $23 million.

SLLS is a national leader when it comes to Disaster Law, having responded to multiple legal crises caused by hurricanes, epic floods and oil spills. Our Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic protects the rights of working people statewide, while the public information website we administer, LouisianaLawHelp.org, provided legal information and self-help resources to over 150,000 people every year.

No matter what challenges our communities face, we work every day to increase access to justice and help vulnerable people clear life's legal hurdles.
