Jefferson County Bar Association Pro Bono Program

Organization Description: 

It is the goal of the Jefferson County Bar Association Pro Bono Program to provide legal representation to residents of Jefferson, Hardin or Orange County who cannot afford to hire an attorney. The program relies entirely on local attorney volunteers to perform these services without pay. If any information provided to this office is found to be incomplete or untrue, the applicant’s eligibility will be terminated immediately and any attorney who has agreed to accept the case will be allowed to withdraw from that representation.
