Service Information

Colorado Legal Services is a non-profit organization that has assisted persons with low income and seniors in the state of Colorado for over 90 years. The mission of Colorado Legal Services is to provide meaningful access to high quality, civil legal services in the pursuit of justice for as many low-income persons and members of vulnerable populations throughout Colorado as possible.

When you contact us, we will ask you questions to help us figure out if we can help you. The questions will be about your income, your assets and your legal problem.

You will not have to pay for the help that you get from CLS if you meet certain limits of income. CLS looks at your wages and your assets (including bank accounts, etc.) in order see if you qualify to be accepted for help by our program. We also look at the type of legal problem you are having and whether or not we have the resources available to help you.

Some but not all CLS offices can help seniors who are 60 and over regardless of income, but only if the individual problem falls within CLS priorities and if the office has the resources to provide this assistance at the times needed.

You can reach us by calling, walking-in during walk-in hours, or by completing the online application at applyonlinecls.org.
