Essential Legal Support for Vulnerable Communities
Lone Star Legal Aid focuses on high-impact areas of civil law where legal intervention can significantly improve a client’s quality of life. They do not handle criminal defense cases, but rather focus on civil matters that affect safety, shelter, and economic stability.
- Housing and Eviction Prevention: Fighting to keep families in their homes by defending against wrongful evictions, foreclosure, and ensuring landlords make necessary repairs.
- Domestic Violence and Family Law: prioritizing the safety of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault by assisting with protective orders, divorce, and child custody disputes.
- Disaster Recovery: LSLA is a leader in disaster legal aid, helping survivors of hurricanes, floods, and winter storms navigate FEMA appeals, insurance claims, and title clearing to repair their homes.
- Public Benefits: Assisting clients in obtaining or maintaining essential benefits such as SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid, Medicare, and SSI/SSDI.
- Consumer Protection: Defending against predatory lending, debt collection abuse, and assisting with bankruptcy to prevent homelessness.
- Expunctions and Nondisclosures: While not a criminal defense firm, they assist with the civil process of clearing criminal records to help individuals gain employment and housing.
