I waited on hold for about 10 minutes. Someone named Monica answered the phone. She initially hung up when I didn't respond quick enough so I called back. This time she impatiently listened to my issue before telling me she could not help me. Not only could they not help me they couldn't or wouldn't refer me to someone who could. My question is how in the hell is this legal aid? If you are indeed a 501C3 nonprofit organization all you are doing is stealing taxpayer money which I believe infact is illegal.
