Legal Aid offices provide free civil legal services. While each office may offer different services based on the legal issue and your geographic location, these offices may be contacted for help in situations where there are legal issues (such as denial of Medicaid benefits) caused by financial exploitation. Legal Aid may also be able to provide a referral to another service or pro-bono attorney in some instances. Visit MN Legal Advice to ask online advice and find a local legal aid office. |
