Alaska Legal Services Corporation Juneau Office – Juneau, AK

Equal Justice for All Alaskans

Access to justice should not be determined by your ability to pay. Alaska Legal Services Corporation (ALSC) is a dedicated non-profit law firm established in 1967 with a mission to provide high-quality, free civil legal services to low-income Alaskans, seniors, and veterans. The Juneau Office serves as a critical lifeline for the Southeast Alaska community, offering legal support that protects safety, health, and family stability. If you are facing a legal crisis involving housing, domestic violence, or public benefits and cannot afford a private attorney, ALSC is here to help bridge the gap.

Vital Civil Legal Assistance

ALSC focuses on civil matters that affect the fundamental needs of daily life. While they do not handle criminal cases, their scope in civil law is extensive and tailored to the unique challenges of living in Alaska. Their primary service areas include:
