Georgia Legal Services is the largest non-profit law firm in the state, with offices in 11 cities staffed by attorneys and paralegals who provide legal services in critical civil matters to persons with very low incomes.  We are very similar to Atlanta Legal Aid, which serves the five metro counties. We serve the 154 counties in Georgia.  Our cases involve matters such as domestic violence, housing problems, consumer scams, benefit claims including unemployment, Food Stamps, and Mediciad, and much more.  See our website as www.glsp.org, and callers seeking legal services can reach us at 1-800-498-9469.  We have a Farmworker Rights Division which represents farmworkers across the state, typically to revcover wages and other work-related compensation.  We have a Latino Outreach Project funded by the Goizueta Foundation which supports staff attorneys in four of our offices who represent spanish-speaking individuals in and around Dalton, Gainesville, Albany, and Savannah.  We have an intake line staffed by two part-time native Spanish speaking paralegals which is valuable to any Spanish speaking individual who calls any of our offices around the state.
