Top Three Reasons Why Legal Aid Rejects Your Case
Legal Aid, which are county, state and federal-run organizations comprised of attorneys whose salaries are paid for with taxpayer money, was created for the purpose of providing assistance to people in need. Time and time again, some of our members have discovered that legal aid frequently rejects cases, therefore leaving millions of people without the assistance that they desperately need.
Here are the top three reasons why legal aid rejects your case and how Court Buddy is addressing the issue.
You make too much money. The current poverty level for a two-person household is $21,983. Over 85 percent of two-person American households are above poverty, or make more than $21,983. This means that you stand a high chance of getting rejected by legal aid if you are one of the 85 percenters because you make too much money!
Because LawChamps matches consumers and small businesses with lawyers regardless of their financial situation, our system does not reject you because you make too much money. Rather, LawChamps allows you to select the flat rates that you can pay for the a-la-carte services you need based on your budget.
Not enough lawyers available to handle your case. Due to congressional, state, and county-level budget cuts, resources available to legal aid organizations are scarce. One of those scarce resources are available lawyers. Many states have fired legal aid staff lawyers, which has caused legal aid to reject millions of cases.
Because LawChamps does not rely on federal, state, or county funding and provides people with unlimited matches to lawyers, there is never a worry about scarce resources or budget cuts, which means that there will be lawyers available to you at any time.
Your case is too complicated. Because of the scarce resources described above, legal aid simply does not have the staff and resources to handle anything more than very basic legal matters. Often times, legal matters that require court appearances or significant drafting of court pleadings or motions will be rejected by legal aid because it is considered to be too complicated.
LawChamps matches you with lawyers who can handle all of your legal matters both simple and complex, without the fear of being rejected.
While legal aid has good intentions, in reality, the organization is severely limited due to its dependence on local, state, and federal financial aid, its limitation of only helping people at or below poverty, and its inability to help people beyond very basic legal matters. This means that it is severely limited in the scope of services it can provide to people who have legal matters that need to be resolved.
