Legal Aid of the Bluegrass

Legal Aid of the Bluegrass Legal Aid of the Bluegrass pursues justice and transforms lives through free, high-quality civil legal services for low-income and vulnerable people.

LABG provides civil legal services to the low income people and special populations like veterans, domestic violence victims, nursing home residents and the elderly. The legal services we provide help people become free from violence, stay in their homes, remove barriers to employment, stabilize the family and ensure that the elderly get access to health care. During 2012 we closed 6,200 legal cases for 8,500 adults and 4,200 children. 3100 (including 1700 children) had been living with domestic violence, 514 were veterans or their families and 2,400 were elderly. Typical Legal Aid Cases:

Assisting the elderly in obtaining government benefits and prescription drugs
Helping victims of domestic violence escape abuse and rebuild their lives
Preventing evictions
Preventing foreclosures
Aiding victims of consumer fraud and those facing bankruptcy

We're proud of Carrie Stambaugh and Courtney Brothers for representing Legal Aid of the Bluegrass at the FORE (Foundation for Opioid Response Efforts) All-Grantee Meeting in Atlanta this week!

Legal issues and substance use disorders are often closely connected and addressing those challenges requires collaboration. Carrie presented on a panel featuring LABG's Equal Justice Works Opioid Crisis Response Project and its impact on clients across Kentucky.
