Founded in 1997, FreeLegalAid aims at creating a website focused on giving free legal information to the public. Over the years, FreeLegalAid has grown into a robust resource, providing legal articles, plain English explanation on common legal topics (like divorce), sample legal forms, and categorized links to other helpful legal resources on the internet. FreeLegalAid is best used to become more knowledgeable about legal issues facing you, but this website is not a substitute for a professional and we encourage you to hire an attorney when the time is right.
