I have read through these reviews and they sicken me. I know many people who have been greatly helped by this service. If your case does not meet the guidelines, it doesn’t meet the guidelines. That is life. Get over it.

I got denied because I make too much at my job. And they're apparently "income based". They're lousy. Told me I had to go to another legal service after waiting since June to find out if my divorce can be taken care of. Guess they want me to stay with the same scuzzy spouse toll I find some other assistance. You'd think if I'd make over a certain limit an attorney would gladly take my case.

I'm guessing there legal reps are afraid to go against a majority as I complained of a landlord stealing, harassing, threatening,failed to repair furnace till I ended up in hospital for five,six weeks then wants to make deal w his rep and tells me everything I researched myself of legal matters,then trys to state wrongly of ada laws guessing the other low rating are right too

Questions & Answers

If you call and have a utility shut off and they don't shut it off because they say they don't shut it off in the middle of a billing cycle and send you a bill saying you owe for another month do you owe it?

It is not possible to answer legal questions without discussing it with the individual. You can look up legal information on utility issues at www.illinoislegalaid.org. You can call our office between 9a.m. to 1p.m. for our telephone intake attorneys. Utility shut-offs are considered of high importance to us because of the impact on our clients.

Prairie State sometimes handles bankruptcies when needed to prevent the loss of a home. Sometimes we have volunteer attorneys willing to take other bankruptcies but this varies from county to county.
