Where can I find legal aid help in South Dakota?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Call the Lawyer Referral Service in your area. While the service doesn't provide pro bono, it does have the names of attorneys who offer discounted legal services to those who qualify. Keep in mind that an attorney is not required for many issues, like custody, child support, etc.

The best place to start is with the Salvation Army. They have aid for finacialy needy people and can help point you in the direction if they can't help. If it is a criminal case the court itself will help with legal aid.

Call the Bar Association in the area where you live. You may have to call the State Bar. Someone there can give you information about legal aid. Much of legal aid is directed to helping women who are the victims of domestic abuse. Some law schools offer clinics that can answer questions.
