Become a volunteer to help our clients with their civil law issues. Founded in 1967, the Northern Kentucky Legal Aid Society merged with Northeast Kentucky Legal Services in 1997 to serve 4 urban and 19 rural counties with offices in Covington, Morehead and Ashland. In 2002, this organization merged with Central Kentucky Legal Services in Lexington to form Legal Aid of the Bluegrass, which serves 33 counties. Our mission is to address key issues facing low-income and other vulnerable people by providing quality legal assistance through direct representation, education, advice, advocacy, and coordination with other community resources. We serve low-income families with children, seniors, veterans and those who need access to health care. Our clients are frail and elderly residents of nursing homes, people who are abused by a loved one, people with barriers to employment, people who are financially exploited and people who lack the basic necessities of life. I am currently unemployed and looking for a job. But I also took care of my father-in-law, for several months because of his chronic pain and I also had several surgeries this year, and my husband now says he wants a divorce. My husband was put on medication because of his temperament and anxiety and we had to call the police in the past. I would appreciate the help of legal aid.
