A huge burden was dropped from my shoulders. I realized how much stress this was to be not only without employment but punished with a huge fee. I am able to now move back to the city and resume my life. Without SLLS and Constance Tullier, my life would never be the same. I wonder how many people end up paying these humongous amounts of money even though this is unjust. I truly hope that Southeast LA Legal Services can keep doing their work and helping people in situations like mine. I’m eternally grateful for this assistance

SLLS helped me in so many ways. First, when I was disapproved for my disability claim, they [were] there to assist me… They work to help the veterans, and that means so much to me.

Seven offices located across 22 parishes in Baton Rouge, Covington, Gretna, Hahnville, Hammond, Houma, and New Orleans.

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.
