Low-Cost Legal Services Outside OPD

OPD does not provide attorneys for all legal problems and not everyone is eligible for public defense services. If you do not qualify for a public defender and do not have enough money to hire a private attorney, or you have a legal problem OPD cannot help with, there are other options for you.
