Please call us before you come in. You may not have to come to our office. We may be able to help by phone or mail. When you call, we will ask about your legal problem. We will ask about your income, savings and property. A lawyer or paralegal will then call you back.

Live in Putnam County? Call 528-7436. Live in another county? Call 1-800-262-6817. It’s a free call.

We are open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

We only take legal problems that you yourself can’t go to jail for. If you have a criminal case, you need to call the Public Defender’s office.

We take as many cases as we can. We are sorry we don’t have enough lawyers for everyone. What if we can’t take your case? We still may be able to give you one-time legal advice. Or tell you where else you can get help. We also have booklets on this website. They may help you with your legal problem. Click HERE to see the booklets.
