Free legal aid for eviction defense, record clearing, benefits appeals, and other civil matters — you don't need money to get legal help.
How to use this directory
Free legal services can represent you in eviction court, help clear old criminal records, assist with benefit denials, and handle a range of civil matters. Most programs have an intake process — call or walk in to see if you qualify. Income limits typically apply but are set at a level that includes most people experiencing homelessness.

Warrant Resolution Explainer — free tool
Worried a warrant will cost you a shelter bed, benefits, or an ID? Pick what's closest to your situation — not sure if you have one, a ticket or missed court date, a missed probation check-in, a felony charge, or an out-of-state warrant — and get the safest next step, exact phone numbers, and what it does and doesn't actually affect. Includes how the Maricopa County Regional Homeless Court can quash eligible warrants entirely.

Landlord Letter Generator — free tool
Need to write your landlord and not sure how to start? Pick your situation — a payment plan for back rent, a repair request, a security deposit demand, a 30-day notice, ending a lease early, a rental reference, or an early termination after domestic violence — and it writes the letter in plain words, with the Arizona statute behind it. Copy it, print it, or write it out by hand. Nothing is saved unless you ask it to be.
