Do I Qualify?

Utah Legal Services (ULS) uses two different criteria to determine if they can help you.  They are:

1. Financial.  You must be a low-income Utahn to qualify for our help. The financial criteria is based upon your household size, the household's gross income, and the household's assets.  In most cases, income must be at or below 125% of the current federal poverty level for the household’s size.
2. Type of case.  Overall, there are over 360,000 Utahns who are financially eligible for legal help from ULS.  As a result, we must limit the types of cases we can take.  Therefore, you must have a type of problem that is within our current list of priority cases.  You may click here for a list of the type of cases we currently handle.

Note:  Under some circumstances, such as in protective order cases or seniors, a person may qualify without regard to the household’s financial circumstances.  

We encourage you to call us to see if we can help you.  We take new calls between the hours of 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
