For 50 years, Legal Aid of Nebraska has provided dignity, hope, self-sufficiency, and justice through quality civil legal aid for those who have nowhere else to turn. The fundamental goal of legal aid services is simple—to provide free legal representation to underprivileged citizens and to cultivate self-sufficiency among their clients.
Legal Aid of Nebraska is a statewide organization and serves all 93 counties. We have 64 employees in eight office locations in Omaha, Bancroft, Lincoln, Norfolk, Grand Island, North Platte, Scottsbluff, and Lexington.
We proudly serve as the only non-profit law firm in the entire state. We are here to deliver innovative, specialized programs in order to strengthen the community and aid those who have been pushed to the margins of self-sufficiency. Legal Aid helps Nebraskans press back. Our charge is to help clients regain their independence by providing legal representation, counseling, and advocacy.
Legal Aid’s attorneys, paralegals, and support staff assist poverty-stricken men, women, and children with a combination of professional expertise and compassion. Our clients come to us in crisis and we are here to provide them with assistance, information, and encouragement.
