About
They provide civil legal services for Vermonters, advocating for low-income residents facing civil legal problems. Their services are free and cover matters such as eviction, foreclosure, health care, discrimination, disability services, civil rights, public benefits, bankruptcy, and problems with landlords or creditors. They cannot help with criminal matters but can assist victims of crime and abuse. Vermont Legal Aid has a statewide presence with four offices in Burlington, Montpelier, Rutland, and Springfield, serving thousands of Vermonters each year. Their mission is to advance fairness and justice in the civil legal system, address the social and economic interests of their clients, and confront the underlying causes of poverty, discrimination, and inequality.
