Eligibility Requirements
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept everyone who applies for our services. We are restricted from doing so by a combination of limited resources and by regulation.
First, the program serves only low-income clients. Applicants must meet our income requirements and asset eligibility. Income is based on household income and can be affected by medical expenses, work expenses, and other factors.

Second, the program has several different levels of case priorities which will determine the type of case and the level of service we will provide. Finally, all cases are limited to civil matters; we do not handle criminal cases of any kind.
Applying For Our Services
For more detailed information on the application process, please contact the local hotline program, Legal Services of Northern Virginia (LSNV) at (540) 374-9101 or visit their office located at 618 Kenmore Ave., Second Floor, Fredericksburg, VA 22401 or apply online at www.lsnv.org (click on "intake application").
LSNV handles most initial client contact and eligibility determinations, except when there are conflicts with LSNV, in some emergencies, in cases of undocumented applicants, and for some community-based matters.
An eligible applicant may be given advice by LSNV or referred to RLS for more extensive services. If referred, an eligible applicant will be contacted by an RLS attorney to provide further assistance.
