Description

As the front door for legal aid services in Cook County , the CARPLS Legal Aid Hotline helps thousands of low-income families find solutions to everyday legal problems including housing, employment, education, consumer debt, divorce, guardianships, estates, injuries to person or property, public benefits, health care and more. Whatever the legal problem, CARPLS’ experienced attorneys can help clients better understand their rights and the remedies available to them under the law. Our attorneys do not represent clients in court. If in-court representation is required, the CARPLS attorneys will assist with a referral to an appropriate full-service legal aid agency if one is available. The Hotline service is free to low-income residents of Cook County. Some clients who do not qualify for free services may be offered a consultation for a fee. The CARPLS hotline is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM and on Wednesday evenings until 7:30 PM. The hotline number is 312-738-9200.
