LAWO SERVICESCivil Legal Assistance Services (CLAS)Few things are more destructive to a family than the loss of income or the loss of a home. Housed at the Toledo Municipal Court, LAWO's Civil Legal Assistance Services program assigns dedicated legal staff to represent clients in debt and collection cases. The court refers eligible clients to staff for screening, providing easy access for clients with cases in court. Establishing an office directly in the courthouse helps people avoid the financial consequences of improper debt collection activities, and works to prevent homelessness for low-income members of the Toledo community. The project is supported by funding from a Toledo Municipal Court add-on filing fee. Criminal and small claims cases are not eligible for legal aid assistance. |
