This is a great survey and article that really shows the misconceptions regarding civil legal aid. Well worth the read! Thank you for sharing Legal Services Corporation.
A majority (56%) of Americans mistakenly think they have a right to an attorney in all civil cases, according to a recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of LSC. The survey also found that many who experienced a civil legal matter within the past three years (59%) didn’t seek out legal help from an attorney who could have been pivotal in getting their issues resolved. “The lack of awareness among Americans about the resources available to them regarding civil legal matters is concerning and points to how much work still needs to be done to ensure all Americans have access to the legal system,” said LSC President Ron Flagg.
