Justice for All: Civil Legal Assistance in Oklahoma

Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, Inc. (LASO) is a non-profit law firm dedicated to providing equal access to justice for low-income individuals and seniors. Established in 2001 through the merger of regional legal aid societies, LASO serves as a lifeline for Oklahomans who cannot afford private counsel. Their mission is to protect the basic needs of the most vulnerable by offering free civil legal assistance. The Administrative Offices are located in the Classen Office Park in Oklahoma City, coordinating services across the state.

Vital Legal Services for the Community

LASO focuses on civil legal problems that impact the safety and stability of families. They do not handle criminal cases. Instead, their work is centered on:

• Family Law: Assisting victims of domestic violence with protective orders and divorce proceedings to ensure their safety.
• Housing: Representing tenants in eviction cases and disputes with landlords to prevent homelessness.
• Consumer Rights: Helping individuals dealing with debt collection harassment, scams, and bankruptcy issues.
• Public Benefits: Advocating for those denied Social Security, veterans’ benefits, or unemployment compensation.
• Elder Law: Providing legal support to seniors facing exploitation or needing help with end-of-life planning.

Who They Help

Services are available to eligible low-income families, seniors (age 60+), and victims of domestic violence. LASO operates through a network of staff attorneys and volunteer lawyers who donate their time to help their neighbors. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, they rely on grants and donations to continue their critical work. If you are facing a legal crisis and cannot afford to hire an attorney, LASO may be able to help.

Accessing Services

While the office on N Classen Blvd serves as the administrative headquarters, individuals seeking help should typically contact the application hotline first. The organization is committed to removing barriers to justice, offering interpretation services for non-English speakers. By providing high-quality legal representation, Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma helps stabilize families and strengthen communities throughout the state.
