Legal Assistance of Dakota County helps very low income people with family law problems, such as divorces, custody between parents, grandparent custody, and orders for protections. Our lawyers can represent you if you:
- live in Dakota County
- have a family law problem and
- have a low income.
Our primary focus is Family Law, the most important area of law affecting low-income people. These cases frequently involve Child Custody and Visitation, Child Support, Divorce, and Domestic Abuse. LADC also addresses low-income needs in other areas of law, including Consumer Law, Criminal Record Expungement, Immigration, Schools, Social Services, Taxes and Youth.
Whether you qualify for our free legal help or not, you can participate in any of the free law clinics and information sessions held throughout Dakota County.

Additional clinics and sessions covering other areas of law, such as tax information, immigration and criminal record expungement, are held on selected days throughout the year.
