Southeast Louisiana Legal Services Revenue and Competitors

To meet our goals, SLLS provides direct representation to the poor and much more. SLLS also works with community groups and social services agencies by giving up-to-date information about legal issues affecting the poor in Louisiana. SLLS also works with other legal advocacy organizations around the state and around the nation on litigation projects and educational efforts to protect the legal rights of the poor and to improve their lives. SLLS has historically faced rising demand for its services without a corresponding increase in resources. SLLS responded to the community's greater need for legal aid by using new technology, seeking pro bono help, developing new approaches to the delivery of legal services, and by widening our funding base. Still, SLLS does not have enough resources to handle all of the problems that come to us. SLLS prioritizes certain types of cases, and different offices may handle different types of cases. For some problems, SLLS may only be able to give advice or brief service. For other problems, SLLS may be able to provide extended representation.
