| Type of help |
There are several ways in which a legal organization can provide help:
Full representation - representation by a lawyer or a legal advocate in court or at a hearing.
Brief advice - quick advice in person or over the telephone.
Legal clinics - clinics offered to help individuals seeking legal information about particular issues, for example uncontested divorce.
Self-help materials - flyers or brochures available to individuals to help them gain better understanding of their rights and the legal process. |

| Income exceptions |
| An organization may also list instances in which it can assist a person whose income is higher than the income guidelines. For example, an organization may make exceptions for seniors, people experiencing domestic violence, or people who are facing an eviction. Some organizations determine income eligibility by taking expenses such as child care, medical bills, and debts into account. |
