Legal Help East TN
Who We Can Help
Apply for Free Legal Aid Assistance

LAET’s efforts help thousands of individuals through resources, advice, and/or representation. In order to qualify for services, applicants for assistance must be United States citizens or in the United States legally.

To begin the application process, please fill out our online application.

Simply click the “Get Legal Help Now” button below to get started.
That same page has all the contact information you need to get in touch with one of our LAET offices. You may call the office closest to you and leave a message to begin the process that way.

Please note: Due to the large number of calls we receive each day, it may take up to one or two business days for us to call you back. We will do our best to help you quickly!

In addition, a successful form submission does not guarantee assistance. This application is a screening tool to determine the eligibility of every applicant.
