Pro Bono is a private (non-government), non-profit operated through, and supported by, the New Hampshire Bar Association. They partner with NHLA and LARC to serve low-income families and individuals with basic legal issues.
The program may provide attorney referrals in the following legal areas depending on staff and volunteer resources:

Applicants must be low-income and meet certain income and asset guidelines in order to be considered for Pro Bono services. Pro Bono can help only with non-criminal legal matters.
