START WITH THE LEGAL PROBLEM, NOT THE LOGO.
Choose the kind of legal help you need.
W4LEGAL keeps different access routes separate so a person seeking a public defender is not sent to civil legal aid, and a person seeking legal information is not told that a form site provides representation.

BEFORE YOU SEND DOCUMENTS OR MISS A DEADLINE
Confirm who can actually help, what they handle and when you must act.
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.
Legal aid is not the same as a public defender
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 referral is not representation
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.
Protect confidential and privileged information
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.
