About Georgia Legal Services

Georgia Legal Services Program (GLSP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation dedicated to providing civil legal services to persons with low incomes. The organization arose from an initiative in 1968 by young lawyers who recognized the disparity in legal services availability for the poor in rural areas of Georgia.

GLSP offers free civil legal assistance and representation across 154 of Georgia's 159 counties, excluding the metro Atlanta area (Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, or Gwinnett counties). Clients generally have incomes not exceeding 200% of the federal poverty level or are aged 60 years or older.

The firm operates through 10 regional offices, addressing a wide range of civil matters. Its practice areas include:

  • Family Law
  • Housing Law and Eviction Prevention
  • Access to Public Benefits
  • Farmworker Rights
  • Access to Education
  • Economic Security
  • Health Law
  • Consumer Law

GLSP is committed to fighting for full inclusion, equality, and justice, condemning racism, bigotry, sexism, and all forms of discrimination. The organization provides services regardless of a client's race, sex, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation.

    I just had an very unprofessional experience with this company. Very rude and stated that Georgia is not a friendly free family State. Meaning no rights for tenants, only landlords. And hung up on me. I read the others reviews and I don't understand why they are still in business if they can't help the people that pay taxes.

    If Magistrate Court gives you this number to seek legal advice, DO NOT call them!! Very rude and unprofessional people. The court gave me THIS number because apparently they would be able to answer my legal question since the people at the front desk couldn't, when I call and started asking Tina my question, I'm not even half way done and she responds "We don't do that! You need to call your personal Attorney!" (In a very rude tone) and proceed to HANG UP!!! I'm thinking the whole time why would the court house give me this number.

    Very unprofessional. One of their "staff attorneys " has been sending me about 10+ emails daily harassing me about some false accusations and "hear say" her "client" has told her . For someone who claims to be an attorney she had zero knowledge about the CARES act statues that ended the waiving of late fees July 31 ,2020 , as well as the current CDC order . This woman was told the same facts/answers 20 times and still chooses to email and harass me about something she already has the answer too. It seems this establishment should further educate their attorneys if they are going to allow them to be representing them. My attorney has reviewed the emails and i have paid him a retainer as of today to handle this harassing attorney and company. I was very patient with her and even quoted the CARES Act and CDC order to honestly show her she is falsely accusing me as well as harassing me about something that never happened. I even showed her the proof in order for her to stop harassing me. It is VERY sad this attorney has accused me of such neglect when in truth , I helped her client tremendously months ago, more than I was able to help anyone in my profession in a long time. This attorney is on a power trip or directly wants to harass me for whatever reason , one of the two! I personally have never been one to accuse someone of something unless I have TRUE FACTS! Then she keeps demanding to go to my supervisor as if she's not sitting right beside me looking at the harassment as well. I did not appreciate the approach of needing my supervisor, when the Attorney is at fault here, highly unprofessional . I believe that shows this attorney truly has some Aggression issues here or is seeking some form of retaliation towards myself. She keeps asking to meet me in person however I have refused due to the extent of her harassment and attempts to try and intimidate or bully me when I have done nothing wrong. I am so thankful I have refused to meet in person as I have the evidence

    Horrible service. Their phones don't work until 9:45 am ,but stop taking applications at 12 even tho they don't close till 5. I've call every Monday & Wednesdayfor the past 3 months. They give you the run around, always saying that the intake line is closed or that they're not taking applications to try again the following week. The following week comes and it's the same thing over and over again. They do not care nor do they take in consideration that they are giving you the run around and lying to you. It's quite sad that they don't care enough to actually do their job.
