How Can South Carolina Legal Services Help You?

South Carolina Legal Services’ goal is to provide equal access to justice for all South Carolinians by assisting those who are most disenfranchised, the very poor.

South Carolina Legal Services expands on the thirty-four year history of legal aid in the state.

This history includes legal assistance to the very poor in areas which seeks to protect children, stabilize families, prevent homelessness, help women and children leave violent situations, obtain and maintain necessary health care, assist the elderly and provide other needed legal assistance which can help the poor to stabilize their lives and move beyond poverty.

Callers may reach the Legal Aid Telephone Intake Service (LATIS) by dialing 1-888-346-5592 tollfree statewide or 744-9430 in the Columbia area to determine their eligibility and be referred to the appropriate office for assistance.

All LATIS calls will be answered by a lawyer or a paralegal who will collect eligibility information and ensure that the caller is financially qualified for free legal services. The legal staff may provide advice or assistance or refer qualified callers to the appropriate legal aid office or to other agencies.
