START WITH THE LEGAL PROBLEM, NOT THE LOGO.

BEFORE YOU SEND DOCUMENTS OR MISS A DEADLINE
Legal problems can involve filing deadlines, court dates, statutes of limitation and confidential records. Contact the provider directly and do not assume a directory listing pauses a deadline.
Civil legal-aid organizations generally handle noncriminal matters and use income, geography, issue and case-priority rules. Public defenders or appointed counsel handle qualifying criminal or other court-appointed matters. Use the route that matches the case.
A bar association or lawyer-referral service can connect you with a lawyer, but the referral does not mean the lawyer has accepted your case. Ask about consultation fees, ongoing fees, conflicts and the scope of any representation before relying on the lawyer.
Do not send Social Security numbers, full financial records, immigration documents, medical records, evidence or detailed confidential facts to W4NETWORK. Use the provider's official intake route and ask what information is needed and how it should be transmitted.
