LAS tries to locate volunteer attorneys to assist all eligible applicants. Sometimes it is not possible to connect an applicant with an available attorney; LAS maintains a waiting list for eligible clients in those circumstances. On occasion, LAS is unable to provide a volunteer attorney to eligible applicants because of the overwhelming need for legal services in our community.
Other Eligibility
LAS offers services based on residency in Door County. Eligibility is also based on the financial resources of the applicant and his or her household. Eligibility is based on the federal government’s poverty level, which is adjusted annually. However, there are some exceptions – especially for people who are working and for domestic violence victims. Applicants will be asked about their household income and assets. All of the assets and income held by the applicant and members of his or her household are considered. Applicants who are denied service are provided with information about the LAS appeal process.
