Problems we cannot help with
We have limited funding and staffing. Unfortunately, that means we cannot help in all legal areas. Also, we may not be able to help depending on your situation.
We regret that if your case falls within any of the categories below, we will not respond to your request for help.
Instead, follow the links to legal information we provide online. Or, follow this link to other possible help.

When you ask for our help
If you have a different kind of issue, use this form to ask for help from Vermont Legal Aid and Legal Services Vermont. You must be a Vermont resident or have a legal issue in Vermont. We will reply as soon as we can.
UPDATE: Callbacks typically within about 7 to 14 days.
- Please look at the information on our website at VTLawHelp.org to see if your questions are answered here.
- Please do not submit the form twice for the same problem. Please do not also leave a voicemail about the same problem. This slows down our response time.
- Give us as much detail as possible, including important dates and deadlines.
- Look for a call back from a phone number that you may not recognize! Your caller ID might say 1-800-889-2047, Legal Services or VT Legal Aid.
