Is there legal aid for a civil law case?
Yes, there is legal aid for civil cases, but only if you qualify for it. You must be unable to afford a lawyer. Legal aid organizations all have their own income eligibility rules, and they don't all handle the same types of cases. To find out if you're eligible, and if the legal aid organization handles your type of case, you have to contact them. Most have websites with their criteria and contact information. To get a list of all the legal aid organizations in your area, use the related link. Select your state first. Next, find the Choose a Court Resource Category box and select "Legal Aid and Lawyer Referral". That will give you a list of links to all the legal aid agencies in your area.
If you are the plantiff in a civil lawsuit in New York City can you get legal aid?
Plaintiffs in civil lawsuits in New York City may be able to get legal aid, depending on the type of civil case. Of course the plaintiff must also qualify for legal aid by not being able to afford a private attorney. If you mean a suit for damages, it is unlikely that legal aid would take the case because private attorneys take such cases on contingency (i.e. they don't get paid unless they win). Housing and consumer cases are examples of civil cases that legal aid may handle, but each legal aid office makes its own decision about what types of cases they will take. You will have to contact the office and ask. The related link below has links to all legal aid offices in New York. Scroll down to your NYC county (Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, or Richmond) and look for links to legal aid offices in that county. Click those links to go to the office's website, where you will find their contact info and some info about the types of cases they handle.

Can retired military receive free legal aid in pa?
Anyone - including retired military - can receive free legal aid in PA, but only if a) your income is low enough to qualify for services, and b) your local legal aid agency handles your type of case. Note that "legal aid" is for civil cases only. Defendants in criminal cases are entitled to a Public Defender if they can't afford to pay for one. In civil cases, there is no guaranteed right to a lawyer; even if you can't afford one, you may not be able to get one if the legal aid agency doesn't handle your case type. There is no statewide income limit, so you will need to contact your local legal aid office and inquire about their income criteria and the types of cases they handle. This is explained at the first related link below. You can find your local agency at the second related link, where you may also find a link to the local agency's website. You can also find links to local legal aid offices, arranged by county, at the third related link; that's where I found this information.
