Detailed Explanation
Legal aid organizations receive funding from the Legal Services Corporation (federal), state IOLTA programs, and private donations. Eligibility typically requires income at or below 125-200% of the federal poverty level. Legal aid covers civil matters only—criminal defense is handled by public defenders. Services include advice, document preparation, and full representation in some cases.
