50. Legal Services provide free or low cost

civil legal help for "the indigent". I don't remember the salary guidelines, but I think they were about the same as WIC. The biggest problem is that there are only a few attorneys and a lot of need.

I volunteered for 4 months - best thing I ever did. Mainly the people we represented were doing child custody, landlord/tenant, and bankruptcy. The biggest majority (easily 90%) who filed bankruptcy were doing it because of medical bills.
