Legal Aid of the Bluegrass pursues justice and transforms lives through free, high-quality civil legal services for low-income and vulnerable people.

LABG provides civil legal services to the low income people and special populations like veterans, domestic violence victims, nursing home residents and the elderly. The legal services we provide help people become free from violence, stay in their homes, remove barriers to employment, stabilize the family and ensure that the elderly get access to health care. During 2012 we closed 6,200 legal cases for 8,500 adults and 4,200 children. 3100 (including 1700 children) had been living with domestic violence, 514 were veterans or their families and 2,400 were elderly. Typical Legal Aid Cases:

Assisting the elderly in obtaining government benefits and prescription drugs
Helping victims of domestic violence escape abuse and rebuild their lives
Preventing evictions
Preventing foreclosures
Aiding victims of consumer fraud and those facing bankruptcy

🎄✨ Spread Joy This Season with the Silver Bells Program! ✨🎄

During the holidays, many personal care home residents in our community can feel forgotten, especially those who rely on Medicaid, which covers their basic care but leaves little to no money for personal comforts.

The Silver Bells program helps spread cheer by providing thoughtful gift and care items to residents who many not have family or friends to visit them.

YOU can make a difference!
Donate or purchase items such as snacks, lotion, notebooks, or fidgets—or shop our Amazon Wish List by scanning the QR code on the flyer below.

Thank you for helping us ensure that no one is forgotten this holiday season!

While Halloween is full of spooky stories, being threatened with eviction, denied critical benefits, trapped in debt, or facing legal challenges alone can be truly frightening. For many of our clients, these fears are part of everyday life.

Legal Aid of the Bluegrass provides free civil legal services to low-income individuals, seniors, veterans, survivors of domestic violence, and families throughout our service area. From housing and public benefits to consumer protection and family safety, we help people navigate life's toughest legal challenges and work toward lasting stability.

Access to justice shouldn't be scary!

The Legal Help Center offers information on a variety of legal topics, including divorce, expungement, child support, and simple probate matters. Our volunteers use their legal knowledge to help patrons understand the court process, identify the appropriate legal forms for their situation, and complete the forms needed to move their case forward.

This , we're celebrating the volunteer attorneys who help open doors to brighter futures.

A past conviction can create barriers to employment, housing, and financial stability long after a sentence has been completed. Through expungement services, Legal Aid of the Bluegrass and our pro bono partners help Kentuckians move forward and access new opportunities.

Thank you to the dedicated attorneys who make second chances possible.

If you are interested in volunteering for any of the pro bono projects, please fill out and submit the pro bono volunteer sign-up below or contact Bethanie Mettling, our Pro Bono Manager, at [email protected].
