There are many resources available to you if you need a lawyer. Most local bar associations offer a referral service to match people with lawyers. Depending on where you live, contact the bar association for Cleveland, Akron, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, Toledo or Youngstown.
If you live in Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, and Lorain counties, you can get help by attending a Brief Advice and Referral Clinic sponsored by The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland's Volunteer Lawyers Program. You can find more information and a link to upcoming clinics on the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland's website.
If you have a low income and need legal services, try Ohio Legal Help. The Office of the Ohio Public Defender represents people who are accused of a crime but cannot afford an attorney.
