Community Legal Aid Society (CLASI)
Last updated August 2026
Delaware Legal Help Link, at delegalhelplink.org, is a free public service run by Delaware's nonprofit civil legal aid providers and other justice-community partners. It helps you find the right help for a civil, noncriminal legal problem. You answer a few questions about your situation, and the tool guides you toward the best help for your circumstances.
A main provider behind that help is the Community Legal Aid Society, known as CLASI. It gives free civil legal help to low-income Delawareans on housing, public benefits, family, immigration, disability, and elder-law matters. Call the New Castle County office at 302-575-0660, the Kent County office in Dover at 302-674-8500, or the Sussex County office in Georgetown at 302-856-0038.
If you are facing eviction, act fast. The site has an Eviction Help page that explains your rights, your next steps, and where to get help. The sooner you reach out, the more options a lawyer has to keep you housed.
The service is built for people who cannot afford a lawyer. The affiliated Combined Campaign for Justice supports civil legal help for low-income and disadvantaged Delawareans, so if money is tight, apply rather than assume you earn too much.
There are self-help tools too. The Legal Services Corporation of Delaware, at lscd.com, offers legal forms for family-law situations and information on consumer, unemployment, and housing problems. It is a good place to start when your issue is straightforward.
Use the Find Legal Help directory to connect with the provider that fits your problem, and dial 2-1-1 for local rent funds that may clear a balance before a court case moves ahead.
