They never answer the phone. I have called 5 different times. Long wait times (20-30mins) just to get hung up on. Went to the actual office to be found with a sign on the door saying “no walk ins available”. Rang the doorbell at the office, some lady answered saying to call the phone number. What a joke. Non profit that doesn’t seem to be efficient in the community. Will continue to put in a complaint as some auditing needs to be done here.

I was able to easily get a hold of them in the summertime but just three months later I'm unable to get a hold of anyone.

I've called them multiple times in the past and they've always managed to tell me im not eligible for help. I've been physically and verbally assaulted at numerous jobs in Nebraska and this agency constantly finds ways to tell me I'm not getting help. Why exist just to tell ppl you can't help them. That's the issue with our "justice" system, too much red tape for actual assistance.

The lawyer who drew my short straw was able to sèe me with short notice and review documents related to my threatened eviction. I'm not homeless yet, so I'm a pretty happy camper without having to really be camping.

I legit have court in the morning and I am not prepared. I asked my attorney (MARK BESTUL) to get a continuance and that I couldnt miss work for 90days and he emphatically said no! He said the judge wouldn't approve it as the initial order would be "halfway into the order." Ummm, what the hell does that even mean IF they can be granted from 1 year to 5? Nevermind my abuser (yes, it's DV) was granted a continuance to 1) LEAVE THE COUNTRY. Then, they 2) gave me the wrong address to the courthouse. Then, 3) it was reset for lack of time last week. I asked Mark this last week as getting all the necessary documents, etc would take some time AND I did not want to lose my job. I called and asked what I could do to escalate it for his boss to speak with him and was told I could file a grievance. Yes, a grievance that WOULD take weeks/months to resolve. I have court in the morning, less-than 1 weeks after the last court appearance that was reset by the judge. This is ridiculous. This is why people handle things their own way as doing it the "right/preferred" way gets you wholly ignored and minimized. I will end up dead and it'll be my fault that I didn't do what exactly? Report, file, comply??? He is a joke and this agency is a bigger joke. 😔

This is supposed to be an organization that helps those who cannot help themselves in a tricky, confusing legal system. They know their clients are likely to not have computers (why are their documents barely fillable on a phone??), and they know their clients likely do not have bank accounts (why TF do they ask for a debit card???), and they know their clients have likely been screwed over by the legal system time and again (why do they make it difficult to complete a process like getting a d*mn ID????). If I could leave zero stars I would. Do your job, Legal Aid of Nebraska. Do your job.

Great people

This place helps drug addicts, people that play the system, instead of the people that REALLY NEED the help! Thought people ought to know.

Hours are incorrect on google. They leave early
