About the Legal Aid Society of Hawai`i

The Legal Aid Society of Hawai`i is Hawai`i's oldest and largest non-profit law firm, with nine offices throughout the state.

Founded in 1950, Legal Aid primarily provides legal assistance to low-income individuals and families. Because most of our clients are low-income, our areas of expertise are in poverty law issues: Family, Housing, Consumer, and Public Benefits. Legal Aid does not handle criminal law, immigration problems, prisoners rights issues, and lawsuits for money damages, including worker's compensation and personal injury.

For eligible individuals, our services are, for the most part, free of cost.We do not charge attorney fees. For certain services, like our self-help clinics, we may charge a small administrative fee.
