The 901 Legal Connect Intake and Referral System connects low-income residents in Fayette, Lauderdale, Shelby, and Tipton counties to free or reduced cost legal help.
How it works
Step 1
You will be asked a series of questions about your income, household size, citizenship status, and legal problem.
Step 2
The app will use your responses to determine if you are eligible for free or reduced-cost legal assistance.
Step 3
If you are eligible for assistance, you will be connected to the appropriate legal service provider, who will contact you to follow up.
If we can’t connect you with a legal service provider, you will be directed to other local, legal resources such as weekly and monthly free legal clinics in the area or online telephone assistance through Help4TN.

901 Legal Connect provides only a limited assessment of your problem. The app assesses your eligibility based on the information you provide. It is very possible that additional information or evidence may exist which could affect your legal rights.

No guarantee
Use of this service does not guarantee that Memphis Area Legal Services, Community Legal Center, or any other legal services agency will be able to accept your case or help you directly. Use of this service does not establish an attorney-client relationship with any attorney working for a legal services program.
