Unfortunately, based on your income or location, it appears you probably don't qualify for GBLS's assistance. Eligibility may change for different legal problems and with special circumstances (for example, unusually high medical expenses). If you think an exception applies for your case, you can call our main office (617-371-1234) and speak to an attorney to confirm your eligibility.

If these exceptions do not apply, we recommend that you check the legal resource finder to determine if another legal services program may be able to assist you.
