Legal Aid Society Matters

Real Kentuckians. Real Justice.

This is what equal justice looks like.

ROBERT’S STORY

When most people think of the justice system, they imagine courtrooms, laws, and legal jargon. But at the Legal Aid Society, we see something more: the faces of real Kentuckians.

  • A single mother fighting to keep her home.

  • A veteran seeking the benefits he earned.

  • A survivor escaping domestic violence.

  • A grandmother protecting the rights of her grandchildren.

These aren’t case numbers—they’re neighbors. They’re families. They’re lives that matter.

The ROI of LAS

For every $1 invested, civil legal aid returns an average of $7. Civil legal aid delivers immediate and measurable direct returns to families, individuals, and taxpayers, as well as powerful indirect benefits that fuel long-term economic growth and strengthen community stability.

Legal Aid Society’s Project HELP generated over $1 million dollars alone in 2024.
