There is no statewide income guideline for legal aid in NY; each legal aid provider makes its own determination. Most use 125% of the federal poverty level as a basic guideline, but not all do. The first related link below has a handy chart of income for various family sizes at different percentages of the federal poverty level.

For some agencies, income guidelines are flexible depending on the type of case and other factors. The only way to find out for sure if you qualify is to contact the agency.

The second related link below lists all of the legal aid agencies in NY, with a brief description of each; click the blue link to go to their website to find contact information. Some of the websites have more information about their income guidelines, but in most cases you will have to contact the agency.
