Alaska Legal Services Corporation provides free legal assistance to clients who meet income and case-related eligibility criteria. Alaskans aged 60 and older are not subject to financial eligibility requirements, though priority is given to those with the greatest financial or personal need.
Income Eligibility
Eligibility is generally based on federal income guidelines. Most applicants qualify if their income is at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines for Alaska. However, certain circumstances may allow individuals with incomes above these limits to receive services.

Case Eligibility
ALSC reviews applications based on financial eligibility and conflicts of interest. A conflict occurs if we have previously represented someone involved in your case. If that happens, we will notify you and refer you to another organization that may be able to help.
Case acceptance also depends on office priorities. Due to limited resources, ALSC cannot take every case. Priorities are set by each office and approved by our governing board. A copy of our case acceptance policy is available upon request. For eligibility questions, contact your nearest ALSC office.
