Lane County Legal Aid & Advocacy Center

What Lane County Legal Aid & Advocacy Center does

Lane County Legal Aid & Advocacy Center (operating as Lane County Legal Aid/Oregon Law Center) is a non-profit law firm founded in 1980 that provides free civil legal assistance to low-income residents of Lane County, Oregon. The organization serves people in poverty, public benefits recipients, persons with disabilities, and seniors aged 60 and over. Its core service offerings include direct legal representation on civil matters (public benefits, health care, tenant's rights, debt issues), foreclosure help, self-help legal resources, and specialized programs through the Senior Law Service and the Survivors Justice Center.

The organization operates three core programs: the main civil legal aid practice, the Senior Law Service (funded under the Older Americans Act through the Lane Council of Governments Area Agency on Aging), and the Survivors Justice Center (a collaboration with Womenspace and Sexual Assault Support Services providing integrated legal and advocacy services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking). It maintains two Eugene office locations and multiple outreach sites across Lane County including Campbell Center, Willamalane, Cottage Grove, Florence, Petersen Barn, and Junction City. There is no proprietary technology infrastructure; the organization uses a mobile-friendly website, phone intake, and in-person sessions for service delivery.

Revenue is generated entirely through grants and charitable contributions from public and private sources, including the Campaign for Equal Justice, United Way of Lane County, and the Lane Council of Governments Area Agency on Aging. All services are provided free of charge to eligible clients, and the organization explicitly states it cannot provide services in every case due to limited resources. The organization relies on pro bono attorneys from Lane County and volunteer support from University of Oregon law students for intake screening.
