Equal Justice for All in Fort Smith
The Center for Arkansas Legal Services (CALS) is a beacon of hope for low-income individuals and families in Fort Smith, Arkansas. As a non-profit law firm, we are dedicated to the principle that the quality of justice you receive should not depend on how much money you have. Located at 901 S 21st St, our Fort Smith office serves Sebastian County and the surrounding River Valley region. We provide free civil legal assistance to those who qualify, handling critical cases that affect the safety, shelter, and economic stability of our community members. We do not handle criminal cases; instead, we focus on the civil issues that hit closest to home.
Vital Legal Aid Services
Our team of dedicated attorneys and staff work tirelessly to balance the scales of justice. We focus on areas of law where legal representation is essential for basic human needs.
- Family Law and Safety: We help survivors of domestic violence obtain Orders of Protection to ensure their safety. We also assist with custody and guardianship matters to protect children.
- Housing Defense: We fight wrongful evictions and foreclosures, helping families stay in their homes. We also address issues with unsafe housing conditions and landlord disputes.
- Consumer Protection: We defend clients against predatory lending, aggressive debt collection, and scams. We also assist with Chapter 7 bankruptcy to help individuals regain financial stability.
- Economic Benefits: We help people access the benefits they are entitled to, including Social Security, Medicaid, and veteran’s benefits.
