Prepare for intake

Have your county, deadlines, court papers and a short description of the problem ready. Ask about income documentation, language assistance, disability accommodations and whether help is advice only or representation. Use the program’s official intake channel for private documents. A directory listing or submitted request does not create an attorney-client relationship or extend a deadline.

The Oregon State Bar pro bono program does not match clients with volunteer lawyers. Its general referral and Modest Means programs charge fees; Modest Means offers reduced rates for eligible cases. Those services are separate from free legal-aid intake.

For criminal charges and other proceedings that may qualify for appointed counsel, contact the court about its application process. See your court’s contact and procedure links and the Bar’s public defender information. Appointment and financial eligibility require a court decision.
